Right now I am blocking all network access for ip addresses I receive
believeable abuse reports for. The big problem is that it is a manual
process that does not start until a PC has already sent a massive amount
of abusive mail. After all, it does take time to read and act upon abuse
reports. By forcing smtp through a specific server at least some proactive
measures are possible such as throttling abusive behaviour.
