These issues, along with the fact that a significant portion of spammers are already off-shore, especially for us Canadians, are why I think a technical solution is the only real solution that'll ever stand a chance of success in the long run.
Technical solutions can't solve behavioral problems in the long run, only ever in the short run. That's true 99% of the time, and I have not seen any compelling reason to believe this is different. Quite the opposite, in fact.
oddly enough fixing most open relays is actually cheaper (and some might even argue easier!) than installing an old broom handle in your patio doors! ;-)
You admit "most", but quietly gloss over what happens with the rest.
