  HURRAY for these ISP's !
  The idiots that have compromised zombie machines DESERVE to be shut off, shut down & REMOVED from the net.
  
  It is NO difference than taking away driver's licenses from those that are too dumb to follow the rules of the road.
  
  I APPLAUD this !

  I agree, if somebody needs to send out more than 30 or 40 emails an hour, they should be using a business account anyways. and the others... screw em

  I can only see this working if the user is using his ISP-supplied Email account (which a spamming trojan isn't) otherwise you'd have to be monitoring port 25 for SMTP traffic, which seems unlikely.
  
  Most people use WebMail anyway (as they're tired of Outlook giving them viruses) so it won't affect many.
  
  Something else needs to be done, like blocking spamming machines' IPs and terminating accounts, not limiting Emails.
