[spam-stopper] Reporting spammers to their ISP

[Unteins (Jason Goldsmith)]

The key would be to develop an automated system to report the  
relevant information to the appropriate abuse channel at the ISP. I  
would think that the best place to start is to work with ISPs who are  
known to be strongly anti-Spam to develop the infrastructure and  
protocols and then try to get it adopted as a standard more or less.  
Akismet could then feed the information to the ISPs when spam was  
caught, but it would also allow other filters and systems to submit  
to them as well.

The key would be to aggregate the complaints until they reached some  
threshold that the ISP felt was worth dealing with then submitting.  
So you'd want to work out with an ISP that once the aggregator got  
500 or 5000 or 5,000,000 spams from the abused accounts they would  
then stop the abuse.
