Project to allow checking of almost any mail account type:

http://omnibiff.sourceforge.net/

(Maildir isn't explicitly listed as supported, but it wouldn't be that
hard to add ...)

I don't really get what the point of "spamming the spammers" would be,

get through these kind of mailouts.  That's assuming that the spam even
gets to them in the first place ...
