I wonder what would happen if all this energy spent on 
obfuscating and setting up spamassassin etc. would be spent on 
tracking down the spammers and punishing them

for example, in Czech Republic, there were just 1458 reports 
resulting in 81 penalty fees for breaking the "antispam" law 
during 2008, which is a sad number considering the number of 
Internet users here - if everyone would bother to report, I bet 
there would be no Czech spam now

... also, as many countries do not have the appropriate laws, 
things like fierce disconnecting ill Windows machines 
participating in botnets would help a lot
