Yes, that is a little bit stickier of an issue, IFF your goal is to somehow continue to provide the would-be spammer with the ability to send traffic to the net, provided it doesn't transit your mail server. I feel that you're overlooking the simple solution. Blocking the entire account so they can't access anything is the proper response to a spamming incident.If you block the entire account then the user can't use the account to download the updates your Abuse Team will responsibly want to point him/her at. If you want to lose the customer then that's your business. If you want to keep the customer, helping them fix their mistakes is probably a painful and thankless task - but important and useful to the whole Internet community.
What about http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0402/gauthier.html After seeing that presentation, I wondered if an ISP could get away with something similar. Eric has the advantage of being the monopoly service provider for the dorms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
