With correct use of DNSBL, where spammers are blocked at the MTA connection level - and not just tagged by a filter, the amount of data spammers can push on the internet is limited. Only the first part of the SMTP negotaion will be completed and the spammers would never get to the actual "content" (DATA) part of the connection.
But ISP needs to be as well as get more responsibility to crack down on spammers. Without the help from the ISPs, this problem will never go away.
