Fight spam with spam?

[charlotte49er]

I get so many spam e-mails. I just keep erasing them and still get more!

I'm thinking of making a mailing list. This would be my spam list! Every time I get a spam e-mail their e-mail goes into the list. Then whenever I get a spam e-mail, I forward it to everyone in that list!

Do you think this will cut down on the idiots who send me spam?

When I was in college, the roommies and I used to get all kinds of snail-mail "spam" in the form of credit card offers, 10 CD's for a penny, magazines, etc... and they would all include a pre-paid postage return envelope. I used to open one of the offers, use that pre-paid envelope, and stuff all the other offers in it, and mail it back to them. Didn't solve anything, but it was funny to me.

For everyone you email, most likley you will receive a "MAILERDEMON" email, so really you're just hurting yourself. Most of these emails come from a system of bots and broken links etc.

I hate spam so much, it really should be illegal. People should not be able to think they can contact anyone and send them as much crap as they want.

I clean out my spam 2 days ago, I just checked it...I got 0 as of right now.

As for snail mail, I still use the pre-paid envelopes and send all their crap back to them, I cut my name and address off of all of it first, but they get their crap back and I used their money doing it.

May have saved them money if they reuse it, which they will.

Shred it first, then send it, message is pretty clear at that point .

1. Hire a good lawyer

2. File as many lawsuits against spammers as possible

3. Settle out of court

4. Profit

(Really though, there are people who have made millions doing this.)
