Would these recommendations be more to your taste, Phil? :)

This is a paper that I wrote a few months back, on spam issues in developing countries. Funnily enough, 99% of these are the same issues that people / ISPs etc face anywhere in the world, whether in the USA or in Nepal and Nigeria.

Obviously the wrong people are working on those BCPs. I guess it's time to get involved and show them both why port blocking is so objectionable *and* that there are even better ways to accomplish what they want without causing so much collateral damage.
