I'd rather delete/block it than reply/react to it at all. If you react, they know you exist and you are a valid target to re-target repeatedly, resold to other marketers.

Mark as SPAM or Block/Filter or Ignore.

Okay new plan, I’ll have another email that responds to the email and says “fuck off”, meanwhile my honeypot email will block and mark as spam

Sadly I think it is illegal to sing up these addresses to every service known to you... Otherwise it would be interesting SaaS opportunity. Automatically sing-up spammers to any number of newsletters or contact forms...

I think you just gave my life purpose. It will be my magnum opus.

Actually that’s already been completed, and will be released to hackernews in the coming days

Often spammers and phishers misuse legitimate emails they hacked.

Just ignore and move on.

When they're paying real money to scam you, wasting their time isn't a terrible idea. Like keeping the Microsoft virus scammers on the phone for an hour while you set up a virtual machine for them to remote into.
