Default Spamming the spammer

Does anyone know if it is possible to bombard a spammer with the same email giving them the taste of their own medicine.

I am getting scam emails from them offering bank transfers, extra postage to send goods abroad etc. You usual Bulls*** from Africa asking for bank details.

What i want to do is send them about 100 emails in one go. I used to block their email address but they use some many different ones.

is there any software out there. Goggled but nothing helpful

Maybe it's that Russian mail order bride you requested?????


Would love to spam the spammers too but they have a lot more resources than you or I. Wouldn't pay in the long run.
There are sites dedicated to messing with some of the spam mail, getting the spammers to do some weird stuff. Can't remember what it's called at the moment.

I would use a fake email if you're going to spam/annoy them back as when you reply they know your email is live and read and you'll end up having you're email passed along to another spammers.
