Parent post is not insightful, it is wrong. Hieronymus Howard had a correct interpretation of how this technology works - The challenge is sent to the originator's email address, not the zombie PC's IP address through which the email was relayed.
1) Spammers will not be 'brought down' by FairUCE, since they will never recieve the challenge email (I seriously doubt they use a valid "sent from" address when spamming).
2) Zombie relays will not be 'brought down' by FairUCE because challenges are not sent to an IP Address.
3) You won't be 'brought down' by FairUCE because challenges arent sent to IP Addresses.
The only problem would be if spam was sent as "from" a valid email address; this email address would then be flooded with FairUCE challenges for each spam message recieved.
