Large ISP prefere to cure than to preserve...

When you provide network access to more than 10000 computers, it's less
time consuming to alert someone that he is infected than to educate every
people on the good way to use Internet and to be preserved from infections
and attacks.

In fact "If" Headers could be trusted, having IP + Date + Msg Id is sufficient
to identify a unique gateway. I say gateway as there might be several users
behind a device which do natting.

Anyway

I've got the point, I'll try to see if I get good succes in my fight against
spam and virus :) (I'm idealist ;-))

Bye and thanks for all the point of views.
