I'd much rather have the ISPs actively seek out the spammers and either block them or just kill their service. I don't think blocking a specific port across all of their users is a good solution. Although most users wont know much less even care about this limitation. This is very similar to the admins at my college blocking all outgoing traffic on 21 and 80. They deny that 21 is blocked and claim that blocking 80 was a side effect of their new 'virus protection'. |

that is quite BULLSHIT....a lot of standard access (opening webpages or so) usually use that particular port.. 80 that is

Yes I'm aware of 80 being the standard http port, which is why other students like myself who are running web servers had to host on some other port such as 81 to get them to be accessible. |
