RE: How's this for fun?

I wholly disagree with this as well.  If I have a mailing list with 2million
people on it, I should be able to send 2 million messages within an hour.
I'm paying for a pipe, that is all.  IMHO they have no right to limit my
usage in any way shape or form.  They do by upload speed.  Right now at home
I only have 400k upload, that would limit the amount of messages I could
send to that 2million person mailing list.

  Why should I have to pay more just because some idiots send spam to 10's
of millions of people and I only want to operate my Crochet hobby list?  I'm
already paying for the pipe, and certain speed up/down.  The speed should be
the limit, not the number of mail messages I send....

Consumer ISPs should also rate limit the number of email messages a customer
can send per hour/per day.  For folks who need more volume, they can spend
money with a bulk email service.

Their inability to distinguish between legitimate SMTP traffic and malicious
(spam) SMTP traffic.

That's pretty damned unreasonable in my book.

What's unreasonable about ISPs stopping pollution going out their pipes?
