Oh, I have done that before. Was with a brain-dead vacation auto-
responder, which pretty much managed to DoS a mailing list by replying
to its *own* "out of office" notices to the list. At a constant rate
every few minutes.

Good thing was, the auto-responder was just happy to immediately reply
to the unsub request verification, sent by the list server -- due to an
unsub request *I* sent with the offender's address.  *poof* There it
went. :)
