Anyone know a good way to get junk mailers spammed? I'd love to flood their
mail boxes with junk...

Best thing I've found to do is forward the msgs back to the postmaster,
sysadmin, system, or administrator of the service the mail came from. And tell
them about it (though nowadays people are sending spam through other services
other than what they're using, so this doens't always work, but for me, so
far, it has).

You're on AOL, yes? AOL has an 'abuse@aol.com' (I think) address you can
address this problem to if the spam is from within AOL.

Be careful that you bomb the right person. Most spam that I receive
personally, or see on Usenet, have forged headers as a matter of course. It
isn't difficult to do. I can forge headers badly with my little shareware
software suite of DOS programs. Also some sites have been created purely to
send junk mail from, so complaining to the postmaster or root will not produce
results.
