How about setting the RIPE address to an autoreply that tells a
contact the correct e-mail address to write to? Since most spammers
spam with forget return addresses, this might get the desired result.

However, I won't do even this. Spam filtering with RBL, soORBS, DUL
and other criteria works fine.
