The whole task of managing spam can grow without bounds, but a few
thoughts on this:

- only allow logged in users to send mail to other users (no anonymous
emails)

- a link could be put in at the bottom of the mail to report back to the
pygame server that the mail was spam. This could help track abuse, which
could lead to locking the abusive account, and perhaps other accounts
created from the same IP address.
