Set up an auto-responder bounce message saying that the domain is for sale - free marketing to 1 million email accounts!
Dont forget to mention Acorn Domains
We had 1 domain where we had 1,000 emails in a day and then our mailserver rolled over and died, turned off the email after that so could have been many more on the way.

I hope you're joking!
Responding to spam with spam is as illegal as sending the original spam in the first place - many of the email addresses in spam headers are not "real" but are some poor bystander's address coopted by a spammer. If you send them a marketing message back, you ARE spamming and can risk having your hosting shut down, being sued, etc.
It could do a massive amount of damage to a commercial company being spamvertised in that way.
Think of it like this: just because a burglar has broken into your house, that never greenlights you to break into theirs!
