Well, I'll differ with you here.  The only -- and I mean the *only* --
thing that I've seen which stops spammers (as opposed to merely stopping
spam, which anyone who can follow a simple cookbook can do) -- is the
refusal to grant privileges to known abusers.

"refusal to grant privileges" - what an interesting euphemism for hiring
3 or 4 <insert ethnic> organized crime enforcers to explain to the abusers
how we feel about spam.

I wonder how many enforcers we could hire if every organization represented
on spam-l contributed 1% of their spam-fighting budget....
