They probably have good spam filters for their incoming mail and, if your mail isn't about buying anything, it will be deleted in seconds without even being read. Try a new email account like the other person suggests. Not much point anyway.

Even if you found a mass mailer program that would suit your needs (not too hard, so long as you are able to get the mail server parameters to enter into it...). You will, ironically, be violating the terms of your email host. It will catch this, and stop your service. That's the first problem, and it assumes that you will actually be able to email the spammers. In short, you won't. Mail protocol on the internet is like mail protocol in real life: You don't need to put in a valid "sender's" address, just a valid receiver. You can write whatever the heck address you want on the return of an envelope, it'll still get to where it needs to go (of course, if you write New York and it is stamped in Boston...well, we'll come back to that). Spammers do not send from email addresses. They set up their own mail server (painfully easy to do...if you have WinXp Pro, you already have one...if you don't, you can download one...and Linux supports numerous free ones). The mail server doesn't care if you write "president@whitehouse.gov" as the sender's address. Or if you write an address that doesn't exist. Doesn't matter...it'll still send it. All of those addresses...they don't exist. Mail sent to them will fail. Even if some of them DO exist, why would a spammer check them? They don't send emails looking for a reply, they send them with a link in them. They won't check any addresses that happen to exist. So yeah, you're plan to get back at em? It'll fail spectacularly. Sorry to burst the bubble. Spam is as certain as taxes and death in this day and age. All you can do is block it. You’re going to have a big-time problem there, chief.
