While this would be useful, it is not sufficient.  This may or may
not match what the ISP is detecting and basing its reports to the
customer on.

Such a feed could also include MTA logs for email nominally from
the customer. etc.   If we want customers to clean up networks, use
of the ISP's services, they need to be able to see what is going
wrong as far as the ISP is concerned.

You guys complain when you don't get good data to chase down abuse
reports.  Your customers need the same data.  The more you can
automate this the cheaper it is to provide.  Additional the more
you inform your customers, the better they will feel about you as
a ISP, and the less abuse reports you will get from external sources
as a compromised box can do anything.  It's in your long term
interests to get that compromised box fixed / removed.

Yes, there will be setup / development costs.
