So I was busy studying information systems, and it was going on about spam, and a thought occurred. I'm not too sure if this is already being done, but wouldn't it solve a lot of problems if outgoing mail is spam filtered by ISP's and companies? I think that would help restrict the flow of spam, and also save a lot of time and bandwidth.

Nice idea but that would mean every single isp in the world would have to filter for spam.
Also then isp's would have to start doing content filtering which is a no-no! And then they would also be blamed for false positives. It would be a nightmare to implement and maintain.

It is. Many ISPs do filter their outgoing messages.

I wanted to start a new thread, but decided to rather revive an old one.
I came across a website that feeds spam-bots fake email adresses:

It would not be allowed for your ISP to filter your outgoing mail - something regarding privacy laws etc...
you can request that your ISP blocks a certain domain. I have a list of over 50 blocked this way. & they also have spamlists that are auto blocked, but remember thislist grows daily.
