RE: Spam Zombies use ISP's MX to proliferate their trash...

This has been a rising trend for some time.

The answer is to put reasonable limits on email sending in place. This will
take the broadband providers some time. Most are not primarily Internet
companies, they are cable companies providing Internet access as a sideline.

Don't be surprised if they take some time to react.

Many of you will likely find this interesting, especially any 
of you annoyed or disturbed by claims from ISP's blocking 
port 25 traffic that "they've won the war" or in any other 
way insinuated that the problem was no longer a problem:
