Spammers are NOT the problem. Spammers are a symptom. The problem is the people who reply to spam.
To get rid of spam you do this
1) Send an enticing but OBVIOUS spam to everyone.
2) Deny E-Mail to anyone who bites. (You choose the method).
Soon the percentage return for spammers will drop to near zero and they will stop. Even sending spam has a small finite cost.
