this is a sort of tar baby based on my cough-medicine inspired CB rambling. there are 2 files, chatbot_smtp.pl, and the lightly massaged configuration file chatrex.txt Given a file containing a mail message with headers, it'll (ab)use chatbot::eliza to print a response to the spammer with ... well, what Eliza does best. I've made a few modification to her default vocabulary to adapt to a few of the cheesy things found in spam.
Note that this won't send the message, it's up to you to add it, or pipe the output appropriately.

Also, I'd like to improve the vocabulary a bit, expand things. Gimme suggestions!
update : This is my last char post! From here on, it's all unicode for me, baby!!

begin chatbot_smtp.pl :
update : I made slashdot! update : I made use.perl!
Seriously, though, thanks to everyone who ++d me :-) I'm honored

Here is the modified vocabulary, chatrex.txt.
