I want to address junk/spam emails more aggressively. Is there an option to reply to these messages by sending back 100's of email to clog up their email accounts? Or even something worse?

What leads you to think that the spammers actually use their own addresses to send them? If the spammers are not using stolen addresses, they will be using disposable addresses and will never even set up an account with an Inbox for you to clog up. The very fact that you responded to a spam message, thereby confirming yours is an active email address, is likely to earn you even more spam.

Please don't "bounce" unwanted email.
