@james347:
I disagree. Who's job is it if not the ISP? Is it my job to sort through the piles of useless crap that fill my inbox? Well, me and the millions of others that are in the same boat? If all the bot computers out there are quarantined, as they certainly should be, it stops a HUGE amount of spam from sucking up bandwidth.
Only few days ago, I finally had to get our IT guys to block all email from an acquaintance of mine. His computer has been sending out spam for months. He has been told clearly that this is happening, yet he does nothing about it. How much you want to bet that he would clean up his act if his email service was shut down? Why should I and hundreds of others in his address book suffer because he is too lazy to care?
That is not their job.
