You would be playing with fire here. How can you be against spam, against scams and be pro DOS attacks in the same breath? Who will you DOS? Addresses culled from the header? They are routinely forged and routed through blind relays Will you DOS the spamvertised URL? They may be sitting on a shared server with a bunch of innocent sites which you will take down with it Once you initiate the DOS attack, *you* are the bad guy from the perspective of every sysadmin and network administrator whose day you louse up. You undermine your own credibility and nobody will care why you are doing it. You're the one who will get blackholed and probably turfed from your own ISP for AUP violations.
