Which begs the question: Why are ISP's not at least doing a basic mail
sent counter on their customers?  I'll grant the sorry scum who are
creating spam have been using new worms to get other machines to do
their dirty work for them. But some basic traffic accounting seems to be
a good starting point. Then follow it with header checks to throw away
the blatant spoofs.

It used to be if spam was received, the recipient could send it to the
abuse at isp.com address for the first gateway machine in the headers. But
the flood is so great that the ISPs can't sort the mail fast enough.

Grrrr.
