What you'd like to do is forward the email back to the sender! If they spam
a million messages, hit their servers with a million of their own forwarded
messages or automated replies! Dreamin' on . . .

It currently takes a signficant amount of time to select them individually
and mark them as junk. Having this feature will save enormous amounts of
time.

And what about all the innocent bystanders' whose addresses have been harvested by spammers and then used to spoof the From addresses in junk messages? You're proposing to forward messages back to them? How does that help anyone?

Sue, I was humoring everyone, no need to take it seriously! What you say is
obviously true, but it sure would be the ultimate form of poetic justice if
anyone ever found a way to do this without hurting other innocent bystanders!

Since in the vast majority of cases the sender is bogus or belongs to an
innocent victim whose address has hijacked, how would propose to do that and
how would it help?

Humor the public a little, we did not mean to suggest that people actually
try to do this! That should have been clear from the last phrase. However,
it would be the ultimate form of poetic justice if this could be accomplished
without hurting innocent parties!

Unfortunately a lot of people are very serious about wanting to do just
that.

Actually, some people have tried what you propose, trying denial of service
attacks on the spammer's sending systems. That usually results in an even
more overwhelming attach from the spammer. I've read news reports of people
who have had to switch ISPs because of the viciousness of the retaliation
from the spammer.
