The Daily Show ran a skewering interview with Scott Richter, the head of OptInRealBig, one of the biggest spamming companies. Richter said in a recent profile:
What people don't understand is that the Internet isn't free. I make my money by signing you up at my Web site, getting your information, and using that information to figure out what you like.
The Daily Show, while choosing an easy target, gives him what he deserves. It's in Real format; apologies in advance.

Saw it. Unfortunately, by giving away the spammer's email address, thousands of people will email him, thereby giving him THEIR email addresses.
unless you send it from your own email server program such as sendmail, then you can modify the RCPT TO: field and make it loop right back to the spammer.
