 Am I unreasonable to give my ISP 2 days to fix my spam/virus email
 of > 10Mb/hr ? Why can't they route my (and other reporting victims)
 mail, through a filter . There are several possible criteria for such a
 filter (if the ISP can't see then I can provide the filtering parameters)
 which would remove most of the recent disasterous spam/virus
 which fills up our mailboxes in one hour, and blocks most valid
 posts.
