That's fine and dandy, but then the spammer probably is smart enough to =
not have a return address and require you to call or fax. In some cases =
they make the E-mail look like it came from someone they don't like...
Just be real sure you bomb the spammer not someone who has gotten on the =
spammer's black list.
Besides=20
uuencode < linux-2.0.26.tar.gz | mail spammer@somewhere.com
would be more appropriate to a spammer who mailbombs people on a Linux =
mailing list...

I would imagine that you could send them a few thousand blank e-mails by
creating in a file the commands
mail spammer@somewhere.com
foobar
where 'foobar' is the name of the file you just created...setting up an
infinite loop... :) :) :) :)
just a thought
