Those of us who occasionally dip into that Slough of Despond
known as news.admin.net-abuse.misc are *very* familiar with
Mr. Wallace. Check out, for example, 
news:// 32617de2.18341458@news.onramp.net,
where he is ignoring a court order to stop spamming.

Bouncing mail back to him may be emotionally satisfying, but
I suspect he filters it. He also has a skin as thick as a rhino's.

Not that I would do it, but SYN flooding could very well provide
an adequate solution to Mr. Wallace.

SYN flods do nothing to stop *outgoing* connections, BTW, so this
would not directly stop spamming. It wouldn't be that hard to set up a
bunch of mail reception sites seperate from the targeted site, then
read mail/orders from them.
