Story: Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Altough I am completely against spam/UCE, I am also against DoS and dDoS attacks of any kind.
It's better to make them 'unwelcome' in their ISP/Host, than to degrade the connection of the host which could affect legitimate customers.
It would be better to construct a program which submits spam to internet abuse sites so they can use 'proper' methods to put an end to them.
Personally I can't wait for SMTP to be re-designed so spammers can't send things anonymously or through forgeries.
