Here's a small simple script that might be helpful to those guys. I'm
sure they'll appreciate receiving many responses.

#!/bin/csh

if ( $#argv == 0 ) then
echo "Usage: spam count address subject file"
echo "where:"
echo " count is the number of mail messages to send"
echo " address is the intended target of the spamming"
echo " subject is the mail header subject"
echo " file is the file to send"
else
echo "now spamming $2. Please wait..."
repeat $1 mail -s $3 $2 < $4
echo $2 " spammed"
endif

I call it spam.

I suggest using it as follows: spam 10000 cc...@cyber.sell.com jerks file
where "file" is the name of a largish file.

According to some other posts I've read, Canter & Siegel used a
"trial account" on some unsuspecting provider. That account was
immediately closed, so spamming 'em back won't work.

I guess they figure their ad got out to those they wanted to reach
(surely somebody took 'em seriously), are now (at least temporarily) off
the net, and will just wait for the flame war to die out while they take
care of the business the ad generated.

They simply don't care what the rest of us think. Their published
reaction is "What are you going to do about it?".

Why bother with a script?

echo "Don't span USENET" | head -100000 | mail cc...@cyber.sell.com

works just fine.

:>

(Of course, I'm not actually endorsing anyone to do this, just teching
people some UNIX)

I think this does not do what you think it does.
