Job openings are currently available in the ISP IT departments in the PRC,
Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, as well as other exotic locations, and now
apparently Australia.

Should I ever relocate to Australia I know at least one ISP that I would
avoid like the plague.

FWIW, a high percentage of spam is propagated via compromised PC's on the
net.  These PC's don't have real MTA's and are used to simply push out the
spam.  If a given message is rejected, it is not retried.  Thus, the simple
addition of the smf-grey milter (http://smfs.sourceforge.net/smf-grey.html)
will reduce spam entering the system by over 50%.  In my case, I see a
nearly 80% decrease in the number of messages passed to spamassassin.

Also, FWIW, if a sys admin in a corporation follows the direction of company
management to put in place restrictive policies that is management's
choice/decision.  The employee has the choice to either work there or not.
However, make no mistake, what you can and cannot do are being dictated.
Or, was I absent from work the day a vote was taken on "Who wants to get
email from Taiwan?".

For an ISP to take this position and dictates who can communicate with me
is, in my book, appalling and not a legitimate ISP.

Looking at http://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/spammers.lasso one can also
deduce that the majority of spammers are of Russian or Ukrainian descent.
Hummm...so probably time to start filtering based on people's names.  Ooops,
maybe that is racist.
