I think lisarea's arguments are more compelling, but then I'm pretty much her bitch so that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Teach who? The USPS? The spammers? I'm pretty sure corporations who get "postage paid by addressee" envelopes pay a one-time only flat fee based on the quantity of items they mail, not a fee per use of the envelope. So I think all you're doing when you resend the mail is giving the carriers and processors more mail to carry and process, which isn't likely to have much affect on anyone.
