Really good idea (no sarcasm, I actually like it).. But what stops spammers
from registering their mail server?..Ie..
1) Get a dsl account
2) Ips get swipped to you
3) Register the server
4) SPAM
5) Apologize, get a second chance
6) get booted off
7) Call the next ISP with a zero install
8) Rinse and repeat.
Regards,
Mark
