If these exist then why are we still having problems?
See my reply to the thread "SMTP relaying policies for Commercial ISP customers...?" -- we have problems because the spammers are a lot smarter than any of us and can bounce from one infected host to another, in an attempt to evade network-specific traps, and few ISPs do anything at all to stop them.
Why do we let customers who have been infected flood the networks with traffic as they do?
Very good question.
Should they not also be responsible for the security of their computers? Do we not do enough to educate?
