In the wake of Blue Frog’s anti-spam program shut down a few weeks ago, an open source group has launched Black Frog, a distributed do it yourself anti-spam effort.
The basic gist of it is for every piece of spam will get a response, and if enough users participate it will effectively DDOS the spammers off the net.

Hmm I don’t see how this will wipe out spammers since many of the computers sending the spam belong to grandma (and other unsuspecting users) who uses her computer to check her own email but doesn’t know it’s also part of a botnet being used to spam others. Then she’ll be DDOS offline and will call her ISP help desk. Those people are going to get the punishment not the spammers.
And hopefully she will have to reinstal windows and or run a utility that will get that shit off of there. I like this idea.
