If your systems are so badly configured that a mail bomb attack denies
your users access, then you don't qualify as a "responsible ISP"
yourself. In fact, you qualify under both "naive" and "intensely
stupid".

I don't agree with mailbombing, but it sounds like you are ripping your
clients off, since you obviously don't know to configure a system.
