ISP wants to stop outgoing web based spam

Wed Aug 9 10:28:05 UTC 2006

Back in 2002 I asked if anyone had a solution to block or rate limit
outgoing web based spam. Nothing came about from that thread. I have an
ISP that *wants* to stop the outgoing spam on an automatic basis and be
a good netizen. I would have hoped that 4 years later there would be
some technical solution from some hungry startup. Perhaps I have missed
it. What I have found so far is:

Detecting Outgoing Spam and Mail Bombing
http://www.brettglass.com/spam/paper.html
SMTP based mitigation - thing on HTTP/HTTPS

Stopping Outgoing Spam
http://research.microsoft.com/~joshuago/outgoingspam-final-submit.pdf
Research paper - nothing practical

Throttling Outgoing SPAM for Webmail Services
http://www.ceas.cc/papers-2005/164.pdf
Research paper - nothing practical

ISPs look inward to stop spam - Network World

Bottom line - no solution

So I am trying once again.  Hopefully someone has some magic dust
this time around.

Thanks,
