I have moral objections to allowing spammers to commandeer my clock cycles
(and it's just a Pentium-90, so I haven't many to spare). I'd rather
bounce the messages than receive them. Plus there's a small (very small)
chance that bouncing messages to that address will limit the spammers' use
of the address.
No, these are not highly rationally defensible reasons. :-) I am apalled
by spam for a number of reasons and simply ignoring the situation (e.g.
redirect to /dev/null) is the least attractive solution I can imagine.
Something from a .signature file I use from time to time: If you'll
assume for a moment that there are just 4 million businesses on the
Internet today... If ONE percent of them sent you ONE piece of junk email
per year, you'd still have to wade through over 100 messages per day.
