| In doing so, they would give up their anonymity.

Bah.  Spammers use throwaway accounts.  So what if they lose the anonymity
of a single Hotmail address.  Nothing stops them from randomly generating
hundreds of others.

| We'd be able to find them and report them (and blacklist them).

Reporting doesn't much work anymore.  Too many ISPs simply ignore spam
complaints.

Blacklisting throwaway addresses is pointless when spammers can generate
all the Hotmail and Yahoo addresses they need.
