izardI propose an idea for All Fools Day joke on a corporate spammer. Those guys are annoying everyone with unwanted e-mails sent to company_all@company address containing some usefull stuff.
So some people call them stuffers, because stuff seems to be their major delivery.
The joke is to send him a spoofed e-mail with sender address being himself, and receiver address is his usual spam target: company_all@company. The message might contain a the floowing:
Dear collegues !
I am terribly sorry for wasting your time with my useless spam letters lately. Could you please provide me some feedback on the subject if you want me to cease sending this letters to all of you?
Sincerely, General manager of some stuff.
When he will receive this letter, he will eventually click on reply-all button, sending an angry e-mail about evil hackers, with CC to the security department. So everyone will see the message from this person stating that he is the spammer and he does not understand how the e-mail works.
The last advice for spoofers is to hide their identity better, at least by changing the MACs or using some anonymous network login.
I won't tell if I seen this joke implementation myself ;)
