No...you just speed up the migration (which has already begun) to spam
proxies that use the local ISP's mail servers as smart hosts.  Then you
have to come up with a way to rate-limit customer outbound SMTP traffic.

BTW...who brought SARS (or more likely just flu) to nanog30?  I drove (so 
I didn't catch it on the plane) and symptoms (sore throat, congestion, 
very high fever) started thursday.  I've spent most of the weekend in bed 
waiting to die.
