Story: Lycos should send its zombie army home

Maybe we should use SPAMVAMPIRE then?
See: http://www.hillscapital.com/antispam/
The advantages over the screensaver are that it draws a lot more traffic from the attacked websites. Also, you decide what websites to attack.
That seems to be a disadvantage, because the attacks are not centrally coordinated.
However, if every user on a given day enters the spamvertised websites they received that day, then the attacks are effectively coordinated because the same spam message is sent to a huge number of people.
The fact that this works without the need to download targeting information from some server means that this approach is immune to counterattacks (provided a large number of people spread all over the world participate).
