I'd like to see it. Normally, faked From: headers are bad 'netiquette, but
since junk mail is evil to begin with, I don't think I'd mind... :)

You might want to consider saving some of the junkmail (perhaps a database
holding about 5Meg worth of junkmail), and send each spammer a copy of each of
those junk mails, just so they know how it feels :) Preface each one with
"Gee, your junk mail was really boring. Perhaps you could take some hints from
this one..." That would also make it *very* hard for the spammer to ignore
bounced-back mail.
