Anybody not wanting to use their ISP email would notice it. I see filtering 25 FROM the customer as something that is not likely to happen because of this. When a customer buys bandwidth, they want to be able to use it for whatever they choose. This would be just one more restriction giving competitive advantage to any ISP not doing the filtering.
Just as long as consumer ISPs don't start filtering *110* inbound from the net... as AT&T used to. I had a client move from dialup to cablemodem about 10 years ago... and it took us a *week* to get AT&T to admit they didn't accept inbound POP pickups. Client (intemperately) had printed the att.com email address of lots of crap -- they had to keep the dialup for a long time, since at&t wouldn't forward either...
