I would also suggest giving the spammers more intense work to do. Like a pdf form for new suppliers that they have to download, fill out, sign, scan back in, and return. Or maybe submit to a form page with a horribly difficult captcha.
Submit a form page with an impossible captcha.
I'm guessing the emails this generates will become flagged as spam themselves. Do spammers use spam filters too or would that prevent them from getting replies?
It would also avoid problems with canned responses failing the Turing test.

What happened to hashcash proposals to email protocols?
The problem with hashcash for email is that there's no way for the sender and receiver to negotiate the amount of work to be proved, so they must correctly guess how much to perform/require. The most sensible requirement to guess is zero, since all existing email is sent without any proof of work, and the value of interoperability is higher than blocking spam. After all, if you're willing to lose interoperability, yo…

It has various categories of replies, which right now you can specify when you forward a message (it sends you a management URL back). Later on, when I have enough data, I'll do some simple ML to have it pick a most likely category as a default. Each category comes with its own set of responses, but you can see where the category changed because the bot will start talking about a product and then switch to talking ab…
It'd be more effective if it didn't re-use responses later in the chain (unless it'd totally run out of alternatives). Although, arguably, it's funnier when the spammers/scammers do continue to find new ways to reply to the same couple of questions.
