Have a look @ this:

Doesn't exact revenge, but makes your life easier and helps reduce the load
on your servers.

The problem with this is that the war is only going to get bigger, doing
something like this just costs you more.  Wasn't the idea of spam filtering
to reduce cost & wasted time?

In any case the majority of spammers have more resource available to them
than you or I will have in a fair while - how many trojaned machines are
there out there?

Have a look @ deroute anyway, perhaps John could look @ implementing
something similar in ASSP?

Cheers!
