The basic concept is that ISPs should monitor the volume of outgoing 
email traffic for each account. Whenever, the traffic spikes too much, 
the email should be queied or rate limited, and the customer will get an 
email or phone call saying that they should contact the ISP.

If we can write up this basic scenario, then we can work from there on 
the minute technical details like what kind of traffic is monitored, 
privacy issues, etc.

If anyone else wants to contribute, speak up :)
