My ISP does provide spam filtering; spamassassin marks crap on the
mailhost and procmail moves it to my spamfile. I can review it there
via webmail and blow it away without downloading it.
However, I _would_ like to STOP it from being delivered at all, as
defined by simple rules like those above. As far as I can tell, this
must be done in the SMTP negotiation phase. What's it going to cost
my ISP to implement this? Is it feasible for an ISP to implement
this?
