Not right, because there are enough ISP's where you can go to the
Website and create an account. Then, You connect to the ISP via
POT/ISDN and send SPAM via the regular smtp-relay of the ISP.
How do you want to stop this now ?

In China ? Korea ?
I do not know one which disallow it...
All of my friends can send with there own E-Mails
No problem for SPAMers too.

If you get between 4000 and 8000 SPAMs a day, you do not mis 3 or 4
innocents... You can help them to get a solution. OK, the Website
ofthe german ISP is only in German, but who need it ? Once the
Account is created, you have all you want and a 20 MByte Mailbox
