What really cheeses me off about this sort of thing is
that the

identify fraudulent use of their names (or do any kind of sane mail
filtering, for that matter) by looking at the source and destination
domain names in e-mail headers and URLs.
Two great opposing forces are at work on the internet, total control and
verified identity, vs, anarchy and annonmenity (sorry spelling is not a
major force).
Unfortunately the same verified ID that would let me track down a spammer,
also would allow oppressive regimes to control internet content.
Struggle is good, spam isnt "that" bad.
