That's right. It stops the practice of using a sacrificial account, from AOL or netcom, to spam for a web-site that is otherwise protected. Does it make a difference that they didn't spam from their own ISP?
Please allow me a moment to ask: Does it make any difference whether your customer actually originated the offending msgs? Couldn't such a spamset come from one of their competitor? Or a chat room hacker that got pissed off? I understand AUP regarding what actually happens on an account. Unless the "throwaway" account can be tied to your customer, then I don't understand the justification for compromising service. (I personally don't find "it's generally true", or "it's too much trouble", or "the end justifies the means" to be especially convincing arguments.)
