    I just had an idea when i saw a topic on spam mail on the spy..

    What if there was a website which holds a database of spam mail messages.. It also holds information about where these emails were sent from.. Then each day it at random times it automatically sends ALL the email spam mail messages in its database to each of these email addresses. Using of course the newest technology the spammers themselves use to successfully evade spam detectors.

    TO a spam message get confirmed 10 different people would need to submit the same spam mail message along with the the email address.

    I'm pretty sure spammers don't actually check any of the addresses they use to send mail.
