Personally I feel the best way to target spammers is by making the risks involved so huge that no-one wants to spam anyone..i.e. if you spam someone you get a 24hr jail sentence....multiply this by 10million spams and suddenly your put away for a VERY long time indeed :).

Of course after spammers are in prison I personally would like to see if they want to start offering "massive growth and extra inches" etc to their cellmates.....
