How about:

ISPs should take active steps to prevent their mail infrastructure 
from being used by 'spammers' to inject Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) 
while hiding their identity [RFC2505].   While not all preventive 
steps are appropriate for every site, the most effective 
site-appropriate methods should be used.

ISPs should also strongly encourage their customers to take the 
necessary steps to prevent this activity on their own systems.
