Not to shoot you down or anything, but, what percentage of spam do you get
where you can actually identify the original sender -/

That's the problem with these 'go legal' responses, you can't do a dammed
thing when the spam goes through some anonymous relay in a country you
never even heard of,much less which has any kind of method by which you
can enforce trivial litigation in.

Heck , i just got spam from a fellow who has an open mail relay that he's
very likely not going to fix, as a search for his name turned up the fact
he is now apparenty in federal prison....I'm not waiting around for himto
get out to fix his server -/

I now won't even bother blocking anything smaller than a /24 , i truely
don't care anymore, if they are on the relay list or in spews , they are
gone from the access list ;0
