My web provider is currently considering blocking SMTP access because
their servers have been used for mailing SPAM by non users.

Has anyone found a better solution to fighting abuse of SMTP other
than just plain blocking it?

How about using POP3 to send email? My personal NNTP provider gives
me an email account and this is what they use.
