You make some good points about the root problems with relay spams,
however I think there are a couple problems with your solutions.
Most people do not have the time to run around setting up fake relay
traps. In addition, speaking as someone who currently bounces a
message every two seconds, not all of us can take the risk of
increasing our bounce volume. Finally, I don't think you can get
enough people running fake relays to make even a dent in spam. 281
million recipients in one year is really very few in the big picture.
AOL bounces one billion pieces of spam every day.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
