Bzzzt. Not so. Report the spammer to his/her/it's upstream provider and/or
hosting service. If the upstreams or host has any kind of AUP at all the
spammer's site should be nuked.

There are four rules when dealing with spammers. This rampant stupidity you
see is Rule #3 in action.

(Rule #0: Spam is theft.)
Rule #1: Spammers lie.
Rule #2: If it appears that a spammer is telling the truth, see Rule #1.
Rule #3: Spammers are stupid.
