What evaluation of the chances have you done?

Noted.

This isn't for me, it's for ASRG.  If the honeypots and the ideas of taking 
action against that part of spamming that is based on abuse aren't used 
something else will have to be used and work.  I can see real merit in 
pushing harder on automated spam recognition - that allows rapid listing 
and rapid rejection of similar spam.  Honeypots are great as collectors of 
raw material: everything they collect is spam so it need only be 
characterized.  Use them, don't use them.  The problem is to end 
spam.  Quickly, I'd also say.  Reject as many ideas as you like: the 
problem won't shrink to make up for your short-sightedness.
