Well I understand the replies. My problem is that I am running our of 
available "blocks". I use Yahoo and there are only 200 blocks available. I 
am rapidly filling them up.
My blocking spam is no incentive for an ISP that hosts a spammer to stop the 
spam.

I would think that many US based ISP would be interested in blocking the 
60 - 80% of the traffic that is spam. We are rapidly approaching the point 
where people will stop using email because of all the crap coming from the 
spammers.

If a foreign spammer ISP isn't interested enough to shut down the spammer 
then shut 100% of all email for a week or 2 or more on repeated violations. 
from all domains from that ISP. The legit customers would complain and 
probably start switching ISP. If enough customers switched that would be the 
incentive for the ISP to actually shut down / off the spammers.

Oh well thanks for replies.
