The problem is, other than hassling the honest this approach just doesn't work.

I currently measure around 1,000 open relays PER DAY being used against us by spammers.

Remember, folks, MAPS are ORBS don't exist to stop spam; they exist to cut down on the number of open relays, and thus make it: 1) More expensive to spam. 2) Easier to track spammers. Any discussion of their effectiveness should take these goals into account.
