This is what our, atleast, abuse team calls 'fantasy mail'. There is a fix for it, port 25 in and out filtering for radius customers. The 'problem' as I understand it, is that the change would be a contract change so it has to wait for expiration of said contract to be enforced... :( Its a sucky world sometimes. Perhaps Paul complained to ATT/<other-unnamed-provider> with logs and such? :)
There is another fix for it. If neither provider allowed spoofing, then the individual couldn't send spoofed packets out one way and allow the syn/ack back via the other. Of course, there are better reasons for spoof protection ingress/egress than a little port 25 traffic. -Jack
