Today I got a cryptic message from my ISP.
“It has been brought to our attention that a PC in your home may be compromised with a computer virus. Please ensure that you have virus software that is updated on your computer and run a virus scan as soon as possible.
In an effort to maintain the integrity of our network, your outgoing e-mail capabilities have been temporarily blocked.

Talk about a passive way to stop spam. I’m on an all-Mac network, BTW.
