Hi Dave

Perhaps I'm all wet on this, but I thought most reputable ISP's had a
program in place that blocked outgoing e-mail over a certain quantity,
configurable of course to allow certain users their needed outbound
e-mail activity.

I know when I was doing a newsletter that if I tried to send to
everyone on the list at once, my ISP would block the transmission and
an auto-responder would tell me to contact my ISP immediately.
I would do so and tell them I was sending out a newsletter.
They would either A: up my daily mailing limit or B: tell me to break
it into 25 unit pieces.

It seems to me that it wouldn't be to hard to implement a program that
verified the domain of inbound e-mail. Most of the spam I do get has
fraudulent headers.

Although my ISP will do the filtering for me, I still elect to receive
all of my inbound e-mail, including the spam, and have my own sets of
filters that knock about 99% of it out, without fear of losing a valid
e-mail that I should have received.
