I'm not sure I'd break my arm trying to pat them on the back yet. They 
have a ways to go in SMTP filtering their users so that when they are 
infected with trojans, they aren't abused to send spam out. From the above 
article, they are only disconnecting those users now because BigPond is 
feeling some pain on their own infrastructure. Our numbers of rejects from 
their users are consistently 3-4 hundred per day.
