Known Solution for:

Spam

Software that returns the spam (Spam the Spammer)

If you receive spam in your mailbox from a spamming program or company, there should be a software that can track back where the email originated from (the mail server that sent it). This is pretty easy to track. Once you got the main located of the spam, the program can start sending the spam mail back to the spammer.

Since the spamming companies charge by hits or so, by spamming them with their own mail would lock their main server up but also overcharge the person buying the spam services. It would send a spam feedback that could overcharge or cripple the spammer. Flood the spammer's mail server. (GRIN)
