I know of at least one ISP (and I'm sure there are others) that do 
this.  He blocks based on bounces.  As soon as he blocks an IP, 
another one starts sending him the spam.  This goes on for thousands 
of IPs.

I seriously wonder if there isn't some rather sophisticated 
distributed server spam software running out there on rooted servers, 
and we just haven't figured it out yet.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
