As lovely as it sounds, retaliation in the form of sending lots of messages 
or large messages back to a spammer is illegal in Australia. Also, spammers 
are very clever at forging addresses and you may be sending it to the wrong 
person. Even if the address is correct you are confirming your email 
address which provides the spammer with a valuable entity that he can then 
onsell.
