   You _are_ kidding, right? I mean, c'mon...how many spammer domains have
you done a whois on that have _any_ legitimate in them? Or haven't you
actually _looked_ at any whois records lately? The good-old-days of actually
requiring legit contact information is LONG gone.

   For giggles, please feel free to TRACE www.pacificmeds.com (from today's
2-meg spam collection, chosen pretty much at random based on subject line,
targeted to one of the mailing list addresses on my server), and lemme know
how how much good United States laws will be in, "nail[ing] the spammer" in
this real-world example.
