I'm curious: if the draw was conducted from this exclusive list of 15,000, why is it that you were the 200.000 000 th person to receive that exact same email promising that exact same amount of money in the exact same draw?
Seems to me, they either got their sums wrong, or they got a whole shitload o' money to give away that they just ain't admittin' to.

Oh well after blocking around 60-70 addresses and setting my Spam filter to auto-delete spam messages things seems to get better...at least it stopped for this wave...i know retaliation ain't a good thing but i might have to consider it as an option... 
Maybe a bot-script to autosend from a new account tons and tons of junk back to those addresses...

Yeah, but you can only keep turning the other cheek for so long. If every time you turn your head and some wise arse forces spam down yer throat, eventually you tire of the taste of it, and nectar of revenge begins to taste real sweeeet.
The autosend bot on constant junk redial sounds like a brilliant idea as repayment...especially for those Nigerian scammers who bombard the net with crap promises/begging letters.
Okay, so who's the scripting genius who can deliver on that one?
