I get a lot of spam, hundreds and hundreds every single day. Most of it is filtered out by a server-side spam filter called DSPAM which sticks it in a quarrantine. Every once in a while I go into the quarrantine and look to make sure there isn't any 'real' email that got caught (there almost never is). As I read through the subject lines I reply to them in my head so I don't actually have to write them back. The SPAM subject is in bold, my 'response' is in italics.

Okay, I won't.
