It's a lovely thought, but spammers tend to live in a world of throwaway
webmail accounts and misdirection towards innocent parties.  If you can
nail down the spammer's physical location, some effective
countermeasures are possible, but that is increasingly difficult, too:
The days when you could cost Canter & Siegel reams of fax paper every
day and tie up their office employees' time are sadly only a memory.
