Then get some sleep, think it over and accept the "collective" wizdom
that spam cannot be stopped by "yet-another-microsoft-extension"

Making spam and spam-support illegal in a few major countries will make 
it uneconomical. Revoking ip-addresses and connectivity to regions 
that don't behave according to already existing "rules-of-conduct" will
increase pressure.

DNS-based blocklists (SPEWS etc) already makes some pressure on spammers
and their supporters.
