Here is a (somewhat?) constructive idea regarding the spam. i would like to point everyone to sugarplum: (http://www.devin.com/sugarplum/) quote from README file:
sugarplum is a spam-bot database poisoner utility. The specific usage of a spam poisoner is to provide a spammer's email spider with bad data -- ideally lowering the database's usefulness so much that the database must be reverted, discarded or manually edited. while this will not stop directed spam, nor remove the lists from databases it is already in, it might just decrease it's entrance to new databases, and/or protect list users from having their email addresses being harvested. yes, i know it's not much, but it's something alright. serious commentary welcome. flames will be forwarded to /dev/null.
