And wouldn’t it be a shame if the spammer addresses here ended up on one of those “30 million double-verified!!!” spam address databases that get shilled around the net about 300 times a second? It seems like a cruel thing to do after they went to all the trouble to compose this torrent of barely literate nonsense, but one must keep the spammer ecosystems healthy.

That’s lovely, but you do realize that there’s a teeny difference between the (always bogus) SMTP FROM: addresses and the actual reply-to addresses that the spammers expect you to respond to? Spam is pretty stupid, but unless the entire spamming community has switched over to doing some sort of mass performance art the whole idea is to get the mark to reply and get sucked into the scam. It’s somewhat hard to do that if the mark can’t get in touch with you, can you?

Please don’t. Most people don’t realize that spam and fraud email uses forged From: headers, which means it’s very likely that a “spammer” email address is in fact someone’s legitimate email (from which they have not even sent spam). Publishing the “spammer” email address is just compounding the problem.
