It would take a fair bit of time to write a script that did it
adequately. The Spammers are doing more and more to try to hide
themselves. I previously thought someone would have already done this,
but this is not the case.

It would also be different logic for Email and News SPAM.

Does anyone have time to be sending email off to SPAMMING sites, and
their upfeeds to try to get some of this stopped? I'm running out of
time for doing it myself.

I'm in a similar situation. If I tried to respond to every piece of
spam that came in, I'd have no time for anything else.

Why waste your time doing it manually? Just write a simple script

that takes a message to stdin, does a traceroute, snarfs the addresses

from traceroute, whois and the headers and mails as required. That
means you spend a whole 2 seconds piping spam to this script when you see it.
