That is closing the barn after the horse has left...unlikely that we will
get two spams from the same address because the sending addresses are
usually false.  There is a large-scale effort underway to pressure
organizations with "open relays" i.e. mail servers that accept outgoing
mail from non-members, and it is bearing some fruit.  Without the
essentially stolen bandwidth and anonymity provided by these relay servers
the life of the spammer is more expensive and more difficult (since
spamming while legal in the US is against the Terms of Service of
practically all service providers).
