Apparently he had this spam bot that would target a message in his spam folder and send 10,000 copies of it back to the spammer who sent it. He used it, but then got his email account banned. He made a new one, and that one got banned too. And the stupid thing is, he had a file to send to me and now he can't get the damn thing over.
But honestly, if you were a spammer that sends those "You won $3,000,000 from Nigeria" nonsense, would you honestly care if you got 10,000 spam messages of your same shit?

Fighting fire with fire? You don't keep neigbourhoods safe by fighting and kidnapping criminals, you keep it away. I understand that revenge might sound cool at first, but just ignore it. I never post my email address anywhere other than at registration forms, and I very rarely get spam.
Check out Dropbox or drop.io and have your friend send it to you via these.

That's exactly what I told him - it's pointless to spam the spammers for it won't do crap at all. But whatever; he probably learned that the hard way for he actually kicked his own ass instead of the spammers'.
I found a way to get the file over to me - he's doing it now.
