Don't do this - it only confirms your existence to the spammer.
Instead, send a complaint, attaching the ENTIRE offending email, with ALL
the headers to the postmaster@<spammers site>.
Also, send a copy to the postmaster@<your ISP>, asking for action to be
taken against the spammers site.
You will find a lot of help on:

Anti-relay and general anti-hacker precautions can be found on:

If the offending site persists, send an email to the relevant postmasters
telling them that you are blocking their site, and then block their site.
