If I would need more cpu cycles, I'd buy them, the cycles cost less than 
all the people deleting this crap in paid hours.

Are there any howto's on how to install FuzzyOCR and/or imageinfo or are 
they included in some other package? (I hope I don't have to sort out 10 
million dependencies) :)

Thanks for all the replies, really interesting!

I also have some regular honeypots that I advertsise hidden in webpages on 
several webpages but that doesn't stop much of the spam unfortunately. 
The honeypots are simply ending in the 'definatively spam' box for 
SpamAssassin.
