My thinking on this is that if we had better automated reporting then spammers could be shut down at the source and we could reduce spam that way. I think what needs to happen is to develop some sort of auto-reporting of spam process that's easy and tie in ISPs and the big boys into the databse so that a surge of reports could auto shutdown spammers.

I'm trying an experiment with Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. where I'm forwarding all Hotmail spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED], yahoo spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the idea of shutting down the perps at the source.

What do you all think of this. Can we build a tool or a web service that gathers and stores abuse info and turns IP addresses and domain names into abuse addresses and do automatic reporting?
