Isn't this where we started? One ISP I know decided to limit customers
to 200 outgoing recipients a day. Great for stopping spammers, great for
stopping anyone running a mailing list, or mailing to big cc: lists [1].
Hey, on a good day, I can even send 200 one-to-one emails.

[1] I regularly get emails with 60-80 people listed, bad practice
perhaps, but it's all some users seem to be able to implement.
