Pass a law stating that no ISP can provide service to spammers. That way as soon as a spammer is discovered his ISP can instantly disconnect him, if they are not spamming then the user can call up and explain how they are not a spammer and why they need to send millions of emails.
Also, impose heavy fines for ISP that do not disconnect spammers after their IPs are reported.

| If spammers are out of the country then why can't American ISPs allow an option for American customers to block all non American email address/ip's for email traffic.
I never recieve legit email from outside the US, and I am sure most American's never do either. -- »www.ryanoneill.us |

3 edits | Some did. When I had Prodigy dial up in the 90's they had an 'overseas' filter that blocked all mail originating from overseas servers. With it I received virtually no spam. It was part of a comprehensive anti-spam system they called Spamshield. It included this plus tons of filtering and blacklist subscription options.
