I got even with a spammer this last weekend. Might have been the right thing to do and maybe the wrong thing but I have my own email server. I left SMTP open on it so friends could use it and some spammer rammed 3700 emails into my server to let it send out spam to people. It came to a screaching halt thursday night trying to digest that many emails. The idiot posted his email address for a reply to his spam. He was trying to sell a wieght loss product. SO guess what I did friday night! HEHE! I rammed several thousand emails right back to him and his account eventually stopped recieving email!
