set up a separate bogofilter db that identifies *only* those messages,
and sends an automated reply.

In fact, auto-replying to all spam (something like, "why are you sending this
to me? Have we met before?") may be a good thing for similar reasons. It
may cause the spammers to step up their production of spam, thus spending
more money for less gain.

Of course, for cases where the spammers use "from" lines taken from the
same place they got your address, you might end up counter-spamming some
poor friend of yours...

Be well,
Zack
