Any dangers with this recipe?

I know I'm probably being petty and unreasonable but there we are.  A 
couple of events have really annoyed me.

Firstly, I politely asked a company to stop sending emails to an address. 
They said the couldn't and I think they quoted the data protection act. 
They said I had to do it myself on their website.  Hmmm, was that true?

The second event was a company that sent me several emails on the same day 
to an address that only appears as a contact address on my website.  I 
wondered if I could persuade them to stop.  As I don't want the website 
email address to be repeated here, I've used [email protected] in the 
recipe below.

I've attempted to target specific people at the company concerned to annoy 
them with their own email spew. [email protected] is rejected by 
sendmail so hopefully no mail loop.  And I tagged my gmail address I use 
for testing onto the the list of recipients so I could see what I was 
sending out.

Any problems/dangers?
