In effect Okopipi would create a DOS attack on the spammer's server
after enough users have submitted spam reports.
But if a spammer reports a legitimate mail as spam, then the server
that sent the legitimate mail gets a DOS attack.
So I wonder how good this idea is.

Okopipi leaps in where Blue Security left off

Defeated antispam vendor Blue Security may be no more, but that's not
the case for its technology and its spam-fighting hubris. A new
independent group called Okopipi intends to pick up where Blue
Security left off by creating an open source, peer-to-peer software
program that automatically sends "unsubscribe" messages to spammers
and/or reports them to the proper authorities.
