Everyday I get over 100 messages of spam and whatever else. So, what I've been doing lately is getting their addresses and sending them back stuff.

What I want to know is it possible to make a program in DBC that can send a message to the same address like a thousand times. I want to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Any Ideas?

EDIT: If this works out we all can do this and get them back.

I would not do that because then they would get your email. Sometimes they use random emails and this would give them your real email.

I don't know a way to do that. You would need to get into your email's website's server and get acsess to your email account.

Don't let life get you down, it will only get better.

Probably impossible then, thanks for the info.

There was a program called MakeLoveNotSpam, but unfortunatly it got hacked into or something and now its not availble anymore.

I'm not very good with internet stuff, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

I was hoping this was like HTML where you can just write the code and save the file with the correct extension.

It is, but you need to upload it onto a web server that supports PHP.

Solutions:
- Install Apache, install PHP on top of it, and point your browser to 127.0.0.1.
Pros: + Cool, own mini-webserver
Cons: - Installing extra modules to Apache is hard..

- Find a free webhost that allows PHP and upload your file.
Pros: + Easy, online all the time.
Cons: - No freedom, and if they find out you've been sending spugillions of spams for WHATEVER reason, they'll kill your account. Also, I recommend you use a 'friend's' (i.e., mortal enemy's) computer when executing the spam script - just in case, y'know?

Yeah, just a word of caution...Sending someone a message 1000 times may seem like a good solution, but it's a bad one. Your ISP abuse department monitors your smtp usage and you'll set off a flag if you're emailing thousands of emails multiple times per day.

This is definately one of those cases where two wrongs don't make a right...It just gets you even madder...

Just sending them a couple hundred emails would make me feel better. There's got to be some way to get them back....maybe if we all picked just one of them at a time and each of us sent like a hundred emails to them. If a few people started doing this and to the same address, we just might make them stop, the more people the more effective. So, that mail function would work right? Then I just need to put it into a for loop.
