Or should we just say "Submit mail via webmail, let's see the ISP block *THAT*"?
*THAT* has been suggested, and there are vendors trying to sell boxes to ISPs that would allow them to block mail submission via webmail (or wiretap mail submission via webmail depending on your NSA/FBI requirements). They are actually very nice boxes. If you were a conspiracy nut, you might think the reason why FBI and law enforcement take very little action against spammers is because the FBI likes spam. Spam is a useful tool to force ISPs to implement more tools in their network to identify and trace traffic for spam fighting. The same tools are readily adaptable. If we want a Fortune 1000 network, the vendors are more than willing to sell us all the boxes we need to implement it.
