If the ISP wants to use SMTP AUTH or other mechanisms to lower abuse,that's fine. But to say "only allow ISP.net from addresses - but allowthem from anywhere on the 'Net" is kinda ... silly.No, it makes perfect sense but that is the one thing I fear we'll have to agree to disagree on.
I fear you will have to agree to disagree with just about anyone who runs a large mail server.
The solution presented here is not only not a solution, it is also a problem.Okay, then I suppose I don't understand the problem. How exactly do youmean?
1) It is not a solution because it does not stop spam. In fact, it is easier to send spam through VZ's mail servers than just about anyone else's.
2) It is a problem because they do not allow things almost every other ISP does - things which are "standard" and things for which the anti-spam community has been fighting to put in place for many years.
