Not good enough. Try this:

Similar approach to Clockwork Orange, but put a hypnotic command into
the spammer's head that says they will experience pain if they learn about
anyone spamming. Then make them check an AOL account as well as read the
various spam groups. Whee! They'll go insane trying to stop the spam, er,
pain! Better yet, add their addresses to every abuse@ email alias and then
all we'll have to do is submit a sample to them, and they'll do the rest!

The spammer will become what he hates most - an ardent anti-spammer - or
face a lifetime of agonizing pain.

How long do you think it'll be before the evening news carries a story about
an insane spammer driving his car laden with dynamite through the front
office of AGIS or CyberPromo?
