Then why don't you do verification instead of attempting to send out that
90%?

I don't like challenges. If I receive them from someone I sent email to, I
ignore it. If I receive then from someone who was spammed by someone using
my address, I respond to it so they will receive the spam. If someone spams
you using my address 1000 times and I see many challenges, I will ban your
ip/domain and report it as spam to your provider

As stated before, it's not solved, it's a problem. It's like cutting off
your leg if you break your ankle.

Anyone know of any spamcop spamtraps? What would happen if someone got a
nice list of those and started to send email to John and his system starts
spamming the spamcop addresses?
