I'm getting really sick of this particular spam.  Their deal is you pay
them $49 to "register" your band with them and they listen to your
shitty music (because you'd have to be shitty to be stupid and desperate
enough to send your music to them), tell you "sorrrrrrrrrrrrry," then
tell you that they'll be shopping your music to other labels.  Uh-huh. 
"No, you suck too bad to be on our dinky little label, but we'll see
what other even dumber, dinkier label might want you."

Anyone know how to make your email program bombard spammers like this?

BTW, I got my first junk fax at home the other day.  Had to run to the
computer to switch over to receive the thing, thinking it was a fax from
my employer, then printed it out to find out it's a multilevel marketing
pyramid scheme bullshit fax from some asshole in California.  Then I
remembered that I had read about a federal law prohibiting unsolicited
junk faxes, that's been deemed constitutional at least up to the federal
appeals court level in at least two circuits.  It lets you sue them in
federal district court for actual damages or $500, whichever is
greater.  I guess it'd cost me about $60 in filing fees, etc. to sue the
SOB, but I'm tempted.
