If they don't voluntarily agree to stop emailing me, I drop them
into spamcop form below:
^u^a^c... ^p and they get their corporate email provider flagged
as a spammer.
This usually gets them told there will be a fine from the provider
every time they get blacklisted and have to appeal to be
unlisted. That motivates them wonderfully (;-))
Please think twice before doing this. Spamcop, Spamhaus and the rest
are little better than extortionists.
Spamcop.net should not be compared to the extortionist sites, nor the
email vendors. It's honest, and living on a shoestring. The others are
cash cows for the inherently dishonest.
And note that it's the _corporate email providers_ who charge money to
anyone who gets reported for spamming: that's why I used that particular
example.
