Just an idea.........

Since a lot of the Email spammers get around filters by adding characters and usinfg misspellings that are easily recognised as such (ie Seex or proozac etc )  would it be a useful strategy to answer these emails (ok so this uses up extra bandwidth)  with a message saying that their email has failed your spellcheck and would they resend after putting it through the spellcheck as you don't accept emails that aren't spellchecked?
Any legitimate sender would be a little inconvenienced  but would probably resend  whilst the spammers couldn't resend (they would know your address was real...)
Obviously I am not suggesting this should be carried out manually .But can this system be set up within an antispam program to automate the process?
