The same thing that usually happens when someone finds out a clever technical trick that annoys important people. Someone will lobby to make writing such e-mails a crime. Or a judge will decide that sending such e-mail is analogical to hacking someone's computer, and will sentence you accordingly.
- simonw 4y agoSure, I mean this IS the same thing as hacking someone's computer. Making it illegal won't stop it from happening though - it's not hard to send and receive emails in a way that makes it very hard to find out who you actually are.
