Are you kidding? this would - 1. Take too much time 2. Require knowing who the sender really is, which is not trivial 3. Run the risk of reporting an innocent, which has a far higher cost than me personally losing one email.
OTOH, what we could do, is that after we confirm it's spam (my MUA simply files it automatically away. The folder is emptied with the trash folder), the mail could be forwarded to some central authority, for further use in making life hard for the originating spammers. This could include sending lots of informationless automated replies for them to sort through, sicking some lawyers on them, and so forth. Hmm, I kind of like this... and the central authority would have the advantage of perspective - it would focus it's effort according to how much spam it has received from each source, eliminating the danger of hurting innocents. Of course, the problem is someone would have to BE this central authority, and we'd have to trust it not to misuse all of our addresses... Daniel PS - Not David Harel of Weizmann fame, I presume...
