Hehehe, apparently you think the spammers are stupid. You would be stupid to install your DOS (Denial Of Service) "Feature" Take this example: Some criminal cracks into a damn, lock control, air traffic control system, .... and rents that system to a spammer. You get spam from the compromised system, you cause a DOS, and take a guess who will be having a free bed and breakfast at a barbed wire hotel. After you spend several hundred dollars an hour to get a lawyer good enough to get you out of jail, there would be no telling how big a fine you would have to pay, not to mention even getting all your equipment back from them. Go for it, maybe you can get Usenet access after you get out of prison to tell us how it went.
