I just want to address 1 thing you said:

From: Brad Spencer <brad(_dot_)madison(_at_)mail(_dot_)tds(_dot_)net>
[tons of stuff]
Pretty soon the spammers run out of IPs to test...
[tons more stuff]

This part of one of your sentences seems to be the basis of your whole Idea.
When the spammers run out of IP addresses to test they will have found every real open relay as well.

I agree, this does nothing to solve the real problem:
Why do people send spam, and how do we make them stop SENDING it?
If we answer this question, we win. The contest is over.
