Sounds like what you want is the TeerGrubing plugin for Exim script

Apparently, he once held a connection open for 72 hours, then
called the guys ISP, who called the FBI, and it just went downhill
from there.

Don't be sorry, John, I'm gettin pissed bout spam myself...I am
thinking
about coming up w/a way to somehow forward the spam msg back to
who ever
is relaying it 10 fold to get their attn! John Rose
um, no. this is a terrible idea.
this trick is only useful if the spammer is mailing directly from his
box to yours, and these days, that does not seem to be how the bulk
of the spam i'm getting is sent. otherwise you're just punishing
someone else, a (mostly) innocent victim, and engaging it what is
arguably a violation of your ISP's terms of service, since you're
trying to DoS the guy relaying mail to you.
there are any number of open relay blacklists; if you're being
spammed by Joe Average's zombie box, submit it to the blacklists
instead.
