Anyone who does NOT automatically, immediately and permanently boot anyone who spams is supporting spam and deserved to be blacklisted until they learn that such behaviour is unacceptable.

What about somebody who gets hacked and their equipment is used for spamming?

I have a client who is on dial up, he got a trojan and was sending well over 5000 messages per hour for 2 days before he found out. He was booted from his ISP and had to threaten to sue in order to get back in. They should have at least contacted him to let him know there was a problem.

Needless to say, he now knows what a personal firewall is :)
