I wonder if we can do something like this for Viagara sellers, credit card peddlers and the mortgage refinance people???

Simple.

Just pass a law that requires 95% of words in an email be spelled correctly.

My proposed step: The law should treat any attempt to circumvent or sabotage a spam filter for the purpose of gaining prohibited entry to someone else's e-mail inbox the same way it treats any attempt to circumvent or sabotage a password prompt for the purpose of gaining prohibited entry to someone else's computer account. (For those of you keeping score at home, the latter is a federal felony.)

Not all violators will be caught, but catching enough of them and putting their heads on pikes (though, alas, only figuratively) will raise the cost of spamming above the cost of using legitimate advertising channels.
