Unfortunately lots of ISPs aren't willing to put in the extra hardware
required to have the horsepower to do it.

And even fewer are willing to filter outbound mail, resulting in outfits
like BTopenworld making lots of TV adverts about their spam/virus
filtering, while one of their users has been sending me between 40 and
100 pieces of virus infected cruft for the last week

And no, their abuse desk isn't working either.
