Fight fire with fire, spam the spammers until their servers blow. Just create a software program that sends the spam back to the spammer 1000 fold for each spam received. Probably better enacted by IPS's and not the end user for a number of reasons.

Problems:

1) Spam is almost never traceable, it usually comes from a bunk address...

2) Spam that can be traced often comes from unwitting people whos PC's are infected, you will be hammering them

3) Given the volume of spam sending out 1K times that would do nothing but bring many ISP's and maybe the internet to its knees..

This would quite quickly get your ID terminated... read your AUP (acceptable use policy).
