If they don't voluntarily agree to stop emailing me, I drop them into spamcop form below:

^u^a^c... ^p and they get their corporate email provider flagged as a spammer.

This usually gets them told there will be a fine from the provider every time they get blacklisted and have to appeal to be unlisted.  That motivates them wonderfully (;-))

 
Please think twice before doing this. Spamcop, Spamhaus and the rest are little better than extortionists.

Spamcop.net should not be compared to the extortionist sites, nor the email vendors. It's honest, and living on a shoestring. The others are cash cows for the inherently dishonest.

And note that it's the _corporate email providers_ who charge money to anyone who gets reported for spamming: that's why I used that particular example.
