Cool. I never look in the trash folder of my gmail but just for the sake of it I forwarded 10 spam messages with links to KnujOn. Hope it helps a bit To bad I cant automatically forward all spam that come in to my trash folder at gmail to this guy...coz gmail spam filter is really good.

Over the past four years, Bruen has tried to move the fight to a new front with his project KnujOn (that's No Junk backwards, for those who aren't into word games), which has helped shut down more than 30,000 spammer Web sites. The project asks volunteers to send in their spam, and it uses these submissions to build a large database linking sites to known spammers. To date, it has helped take down more than 32,000 of these junk mail sites.
