Bottom line: AOL/Earthlink might be able to put limits like this... and 
they
certainly monitor for it already, however if a large group of providers
start limiting email all it will do is create a market for niche 
services
that cater to people who need more email bandwidth.

Of course, this will only effect the most casual of spammers... and it 
will
certainly have no impact on the large % of spammers from outside the US.

Sort of like when they created rules for fishing for US companies and 
all
the people breaking the rules were based outside the US... in other 
words
it's a joke.

fyi: if IP ever had a problem with hosting we would join the long line 
of
people offering free hosting to keep it going.
