This would be a good thing.  The ISP would then be able to inform the customer 
that they're sending a larger-than-expected amount of email.  The customer 
could then say "no I'm not"... at which point the ISP could educate the 
customer that their credentials are being misused.

Why would the ISP do this?  To protect themselves from being sued by the spam 
recipients' ISPs.
