Re: Follow the money

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.

Problem is a lot of the spammers are out of the country.

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.

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.
