Wow that is a very original idea! Some risk of pissing off the person if they have already read my email asking for a deletion. And they would know my mom's company as it all came from that and complain or something. Worth the risk you think?

I'd try being polite first. Though spamming the account might work for getting everything sorted as spam, it does not delete the problem message and it will anger the account owner. If someone made a simple mistake of sending you something, and then bombed your account, you'd be rightfully angry.

If you want help trying to track down the owner of the account, contact me privately (email in my profile).
