This would be a very interesting philosophical argument if in fact
what we were discussing was something that could take a significant
bite out of spam. In the absence of such an ability, however, the
real question is whether user accounts should be crippled in the
name of spam fighting when the crippling *isn't* going to help
significantly with the spam problem.
But it will. Almost all of my spam comes via incompetent end users
who've had their machines taken over by the bad guys. Blocking dynamic
IP ranges also nukes a very large fraction of my spam.
I think the easy solution is just to block port 25 unless someone asks
for it to be opened. Average users have no idea what
port 25 does or even what TCP is, so they won't care.
