You could always make it a little more difficult to find their valid 
responses:

for mail in `ls /dev`; do echo 'Thanks you for the offer of Low cost 
waste disposal units; however I do not buy anything from unsolicited 
calls or emails.  This is not unsolicited commercial mail, just a polite 
but firm no thank you responding to a relationship initiated by 
you.'|mail -s "Thanks for the offer of some Pampers" 
responseemailaddy at spammer.com; sleep 1; done &tail -f 
/var/log/exim/exim_mainlog

This will only generate about 8,000 emails dependent of course upon the 
contents of the /dev directory.

Without the sleep you can really do some good stress testing of your 
box.  I have managed to generate prolonged load values of 600-700.

Have fun.
