Okay, I'm going to break my promise,=20
Can anyone document more than one isolated instance, if that, of
spammers using North American Cyber Cafes? (This is NANOG)
If so, wouldn't appropriate AUP with appropriate fines to the CC the
user used for access be a more appropriate sniper rifle shot rather than
just shot gunning all your users?
As far as 'loading' spam software, any Cyber Caf=E9 that has the cpu out
where Joe User has access and/or hasn't set appropriate user rights
preventing software installation or system access, won't be in business
very long anyway.
Best regards,

Would the uploads be HTTP? That's the only thing I'd want to limit to a
few kbps. (Well, and outgoing SMTP to 0 kbps.)

Understandable. On the other hand, spammers using internet cafes isn't
good either.
