Sorry, but I believe spammers deserve everything they get. Day after day our department at work gets bombarded with e-mails offering us enhanced body parts, dodgy medicines & some really nasty porno ones that are very offensive. We've got spam detection applications running but the spammers get cleverer & cleverer at finding ways round that. So our servers get overworked, our mailboxes get jammed & it can be quite difficult & time consuming to ensure that the e-mails you delete are only the spam ones. Another disgrace, in my opinion, is that if you forward the e-mail to spam@ the relevent ISPs (personally I seem to get a lot of yahoo based spam e-mails) nothing seems to happen. As well as punishment for spammers, I think there should be punishment for ISPs who do nothing to prevent spam being sent under their name when they are informed of that fact.
