Good times!

Nice, I don't remember who, but someone here on the board had a spammer once that he really screwed to the wall. The spammer sent an email that came from an address that was in the correct domain, but when you emailed that address it had an autoresponder that said don't email this address, so the Pelicanite set up a rule in his email to auto reply to the spammers auto-reply. I think he said that after 24 hours the CEO of the company was calling him begging for him to stop his rule. I REALLY love that story. It's just unfortunate that the same thing wouldn't work for 99.99% of the SPAM that we get these days.
