Really good idea (no sarcasm, I actually like it).. But what stops spammers from registering their mail server?..Ie.. 1) Get a dsl account 2) Ips get swipped to you 3) Register the server 4) SPAM 5) Apologize, get a second chance 6) get booted off 7) Call the next ISP with a zero install 8) Rinse and repeat.
