See all the previous mail threads about ISPs not doing anything :-)

Stop the bots on your networks; work with people to stop the bots on other networks; work with law enforcement to put the criminals in prison.

I don't want to pour gasoline on a burning fire (well, okay -- maybe I do), but this issue is really out of hand. I mean, the top ASN-originating "offender" pumped out somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.27 billion (yes, "Billion", with a "B") spam messages in the past 24 hours (from our perspective): https://nssg.trendmicro.com/nrs/reports/rank.php?page=1 ...and that's just the figure for one ASN with a bot problem. And since virtually _all_ spam these days is botnet-generated... ...it gets worse, but I won't get into it here. It's a very frustrating problem.
