It all relies on the supposition that you can trust ISPs to not ignore
abuse. For the others, you toss this into your ~/.procmailrc, which
simply /dev/nulls everything from the worst, and most indifferent
towards abuse originating with them. Ostracise them:
# -------------------------------
# kornet.net, bora.net, hanaro, chinanet, ...
# easynet

APNIC = "(58|59|60|61|124|125|126|202|203|210|211|218|219|220|221|222)"
ALL256 = "[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?"
EASYNET = "195\\.40"
