And how would it be collected if the mail went thru a hijacked relay or open 
proxy?  Would you make the current voluntary blacklists such as ordb and 
monkeys mandatory?  How fast would what agency react to the next exploit the 
spammers find?  How often would what agency be tasked with looking for and 
listing exploits? What happens if the spammers phish for aol passwords and 
spam that way?
