Spam comes from fake address 99.99% of the time, sending back a huge
attachment only burdens you, your server and your isp. It'll do nothing to
the spammer. I will sometime go to their web site and submit a comment to
their sales department saying "I got spam from you and if I ever do again I
will never ever buy any product of yours no matter how bad I need it."

Subject: No LBC content, just a hypothetical e-mail question -
I am getting a little tired of the SPAM e- mail ads I'm getting recently
and I usually delete them. But I got to thinking (which can be dangerous
for me), hypothetically of course, that instead of just deleting them, If
everybody answered them back with a HUGE bmp, (something like 10 megs
worth) file saying to the effect STOP SENDING THIS it might be a deterrent.
If nothing else it would tie up their server with huge files - sorry,
must be one of those mornings -
