Fight Spam with Spam!!

I just read an article on this free software called Blue Frog.

http://www.bluesecurity.com/default.asp

What Blue Frog does is can your email for spam, and then sends what it thinks as spam back to the this HQ to identify it

when they get a new spam threat, they send an email to the spammer and the ISP to stop it

if they don't?
then the company sends a special code to each blue frog user, which then sends a complaint email to that spammer

in other words, it spams the spammer until he is so clogged up he can't do much of anything

fight fire with fire!

it has actually shut down quite a few known spammers already

All the good spammers fake their IP and have no inbound email connectivity. I am not so sure this is the cure.
