There are a couple of flaws in your plan. The From: and Reply-to: addresses are often faked so they are stolen from someone else. The 10MB replies may go to someone whose email address was simply used by the spammer. The other problem is that most accounts are much larger now. My Yahoo-based account is 2 GB so a 10MB is barely noticed. Since it is web mail, it is not downloaded for me until I tell the system to do so. It must feel good to do something about spammers. However, you need to make sure that you are really affecting the source of the problems and not innocent bystanders. James _____ James D.
