There's only one way to stop these people - toughen up and send them to jail.
Up the ante and start imposing fixed custodial sentences to anyone convicted of unsolicited emailing.
Its intrusive and costs all of us in the long run in increased access charges.
ISP's pay by the megabyte and the more they pay the more we pay for access, if they are paying for a vast amount of traffic from a tiny minority of spammers then we are the ones that suffer. Lock the spammers up I say.
