Does AGIS provide individuals/corporations (besides the spammers) with accounts capable of email or browsing? It might be interesting to add the ability (ie. a module) to Apache to check the browsers host domain, and send an appropriate 401/402 page to users in an `undesirable' domain. Something like: "You cannot browse this site because your ISP is involved in undesirable activities on the InterNet. If you have an account with a different ISP please use it to access this server". If enough people started getting these messages from enough places and complained, and if the people running Apache also survived the ensuing DOS attacks and/or MailBombs, which would surely follow based on their reputations, maybe we could scare the companies straight. brian
