Here's an idea that's based on this one. The e-mail address in the
message is replaced with a unique ID for each unique e-mail address in the
CC archives. The sender clicks on the link and a CGI form asks them for
THEIR e-mail address. After a look-up in a simple database, the ID is
translated into the actual e-mail address and a short message is sent to
the original poster saying "such-and-such from <email address> wants to
contact you".
All this can be easily implemented in PHP (CGI is so passe).
I still think it's easier to just find all spammers and rip their small
intestines out, then make chitlins with them and feed them back to them.
