Then the only thing which helps, is to look around for a spam-fighting
ISP. This can mean, one who uses RTB's, or ones where you can create
your own filters to kill the spam. My ISP has this near perfect
feature where I have a whitelist of trusted e-mail addresses, and if
you are not on it, and send me an e-mail for the first time, you have
to click a link to confirm the e-mail. Spammers never do that, so that
means that about 90% ends up in the waiting bin.
The only thing ISP's understand is money, and if all the customers
walk away from them, because they don't act against spammers, they
will rethink their attitude against spammers.
