Story: Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Any way to stop the infection of spam is ok. Most of them falsify addresses, identification, and headers so they do not deserve to travel. I do think that the better answer is in authentication and the sooner that Microsoft or any other software developer distributes authentication software to ISP's to check addresses, headers, and even content the sooner we will see spam stopped or else they will quickly be identified and prosecuted for violating the laws of many lands. We will then know who the senders are and be able to track them and take actions against them if necessary. We will force them to be legal or they will be stopped.
