There's a problem with replying to a spammer; in that way you're
merely acknowledging that the e-address is valid.
To my way of thinking, that's a bad thing to do; isn't it better to
ignore & hope the spammer will give up.
Also, these spammers tend to use slightly different e-addresses in
order to fool the system, so rejecting one will not reject the next ones
