That's hilarious! You want Big Brother to legislate penalties for
spamming; how do you think that this would ever be enforced unless
you had proof of where it came? I could send thousands of emails that
look like they come from your address, or plant a bot in an
attachment that you would never know about, and you would be facing
jail time! All because you can't prove that you *didn't* send it.
Remember how this thread got started? Someone thought I (or my
server) was sending out these dangerous emails?
