Re: ISP Blocked my access because of spam

1.) one (or more) of the computers on his home network is(are) infected and need to be cleaned up.
2.) someone else in the neighborhood is making unauthorized use of his wireless network.
Yes, good analysis. These possibilities are what the OP needs to check.

Attempting to block the outgoing mail would just be a bandaid solution, and probably not very effective. Securing the wireless network (if one is used), and cleaning out the malware on all computers on the home LAN is the way to deal with this problem.
