If you have a fast connection...reply to the spammer with a 5MB file, any file will do, but preferably something equally useless. Send it as an attachment. When it hits his/her drop box email which then forwards it to the spammer's real email, in most cases it will bounce back with a "filesize exceeds limit, break into smaller pieces and try resending" type error. It will also give you the "real" email address to reply to. Many times it will tell you what the limit is, for example 1.25 MB...I have a preset group of 1MB files that I forward back to the spammer in bundles of 10. Soon, I have to delete a few messages from my inbox stating: Returned for the following reason- RECIPIENT HAS EXCEEDED DISK QUOTA. Then I get to chuckle with glee as I imagine them downloading all the "interesting information" I sent them.:-)
