In my eyes, those peers are the source of it.
One can justify Open Relay and the lag into moving into not being an
attack vector... while the case for allowing IP spoofing is a tad
harder to justify.

We all need to be more flexible and actually work toward fixing both

I just intervene on one of today's DNS Amp... which is going to many
targets mind you... on a client with a NT4.0 Server and another with
FreeBSD 5.1 =D
( You can say bye bye to that NT4.0 client revenue :( )
Now about some of "those" peers start enforcing some form of source
IP rules...
PS: The Open Relay situation is easy to fix for a subscriber type
corp (like say a Cable provider)... and less for smaller outfit
providing all sort of IT services.
