Yeah, but what if it's real spam where they faked their address? Then we have to live with all of the bounced messages. Darn ugly way to get back at them.

In the future, if we get a spam like this, may I suggest we add that person to our mailing list? This way we SPAM them right back (at least with useful stuff and maybe they will become a DBA). Since they e-mailed us first which expressed an interest in our mailing list, I think it's only fair that we include them.
