No, the spammers would -love- to hear from you. Then they have verified
proof that that particular e-mail address goes to a human who reads
and thus is valuable fodder for selling on addres lists.
I have a couple of spam-trap addreses that have never been used anywhere
-except- plugged into "unsubscribe" links and messages. It's rather
amusing to see where they end up getting spammed from.
