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  allow
them from anywhere on the 'Net" is kinda ... silly.

I think we are arguing the same side of the problem. I think I mis-read
this one sentence.

SMTP AUTH is a great thing, really, but not what it's cracked up to be
in the age of zombies. I am not saying that they should be allowed from
anywhere on the net, I argue quite the opposite.
