Thank you for underscoring that my point is misunderstood :)

imho one of the reasons why p2p ff and even dns proxy nets
are so successful is because there is money :)

If ISP's were forced to actually be responsible for IP ranges and to
actually clean (like some services, spamcop, etc. forces them to)
then the very definition of the fast flux botnet (of  an ever-changing
network of compromised hosts) would become mute :)

It all still starts and ends with a number... otherwise you would not
be able to defend your own space Suresh :)

Again, all spam starts and stops with a number - this is the bottom line
If you want to send email - you need to be trustworthy and society
needs to know that you will maintain your IP space
