I agree 100% with Russel, here in Hong Kong the HK ISP Association is
about to begin an innitiative for our members to block outgoing port 25
connections from modem pools.
As for the prejudice against users - I think this is a non-issue since
people accessing the Internet have absolutely no need to use third party
mail relays. If they don't trust our systems (all qmail!) then they are
free to go elsewhere.
Considering the amount of Hong Kong generated SPAM (most of it from
dial-up users) that we might be able to eliminate I hope we can implement
this scheme soon.
