It's hard to know that verizon should be in a red light, except by 
exhaustion. Many ISPs send auto-replies to spam reports, just for the 
publicity. The sheer volume of reports can make personal replies 
impractical. I ignore auto-replies until the problem goes away. This problem 
does not seem to be going away. Haggar The Horrible (with 1337 variations) 
seems to be his favourite cartoon character.

Right now, all I can see legally is potential for federal law concerning 
viruses to be of use. Physically, there is still potential for blocking the 
whole ISP. Do not look to hard and long at rules against this, because ISPs 
use spamhaus.org (SORBS/SORBL) at their own discretion. Some block e-mail, 
only. Some block every packet. With my level of USENET activity, I would 
probably see a thousand pieces of spam every day without filters, and about 
thirty percent of that would come from spam-friendly domains.

Wikipedia is a wonderful place to learn about rules on freedom of speech. 
Maybe your own ISP's support address can tell you about their spam assasin 
configuration.

Line noise did not go away. It reincarnated as spam.
