Go for it.  I notice some that Jeff is not getting the full blunt of
this, but the numbers are roughly 25 a day of a similar nature to this
hitting the CLUE server (I can check the folder I made for collecting
such if folks want actual stats here).

If possible as I mentioned before, adding SPF and Graylisting might be
in order as well or at least incorporate the concepts into the Captcha
idea.

If Jed is will to implement it, by all means...go for it.
