Genenrally, more than one form of evidence is necessary to convict anyone
for anything (except traffic tickets).
What allows spam to happen is that most users pay the
costs of all
incoming mail, and spammers pay little of the cost of sending it. Turn
that around, so that the bulk of internet support costs come from
charges related to bytes sent, and spam becomes MUCH less attractive.
Immersing the nutsacks of spammers who get caught in scalding water would
be more effective.
I don't see spam as a long term problem though.
Oh? I see it growing.
