On another note, with all these worms and trojans going around, I've seriously considered blocking outbound SMTP on our network and requiring users to "register" their outbound SMTP needs with us (i.e. use another mail provider, company mail server, or host email on their own box). All with the hopes of keeping our network from looking like any of the cable companies.. <sigh>
All home ISPs should be doing this. Most of the big ones are doing so already. I think it's a much harder choice if you're a business ISP though.
And that's just the thing. We're both. Most of our residential users are power-user types that like to run servers and stuff at home, or VPN into work a lot; the businesses also host all kinds of servers.
