Sorry about the inadvertent click on "Send." It's been tried. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/26/russian_spammer_killed. It doesn't look to me as if Russian spam volumes have gone down.
That's going to far though - and not a fair trial of the idea. You don't teach a lesson to anyone by killing them. I mean, think about it, you spend a couple hours beating the guy up and teaching him that spam is bad and then you kill him. So the guy you invested all that time in teaching is now dead and can't teach anyone else! Much more likely to have been a rival spammer than a victim. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
