I think spam can be killed if we do a few things.
EVERY mail server must
Stop direct linking... urls become plain text.
-Prevents newbies from oo look discount drugs.
Embedded objects are precached on the mail server.
-No more referrer checking.
One month of automatic "undeliverable messages."
-Absurd? I think that should screw up many many spam databases.
Re-neducation
-Make a country wide announcement... system admins... mail servers... news... newspaper... ALL must promote deletion of the messages.
OH my best idea we need a "transforming identity theft virus." One that "spreads" faster than the blaster worm. Why? Why do spammers spam? Because one in the thousands they send a reply... click the URL... Who does that? People who are noobies or are convinced by the "discount meds". The most feared thing now is identity theft so use that in combination with the ability to look like spam. People should avoid those that look like spam like the plague after that!
