Here's a question that has to do with mail, speaking of such things! How do I find out who is sending me all the junk I get? The email address they send from never works.. And the message header is all fubar. I want to find out where it all comes from and, not do anything illegal or unethical, but something just to let them know someones figured them out. Like a moderatly long but not so huge ping flood that it denies service. Soemthing that has a good duration so they can't miss it in the logs, if they look at such things. Thanks!
