   Getting users to secure their machines is a lost cause.  ISP SMTP
   servers have to be responsible for performing virus and spam
   filtering.

Many ISPs disagree with this. They see themself as a transparent
carrier, much like a postal service.

Still, the postal service forbids sending of certain types of materials 
via their service.

Yup, but do they actively check/enforce this?

BTW I do _not_ think an ISP is allowed to be this unresponsible. They
do have an obligation to "the net", the same net that allows them to
make money.

just my 2c
