Maybe a protocol of SPAM notifications can do da trick... Something like a system, more or less central that smtp server should use to exchange information about SPAM, like that u get not only the gmail base, but a yet bigger set off it... that whould do the trick, and possible take the internet routers down :) And even with a more global system it would not be perfect, but @ least I only should need too mark 2/3 mails as spam a day, instead of 10, and with other web clients 100 or more... Maybe google wanna do it in is 'we are the good folks, not the biggest monopoly on da world' opensource developement... ;)
