I think that mailing back the empty envelopes would be counter productive.

I'm operating on the assumption that the postage isn't enough to deliver a piece of mail. If it's a matter of volume, then I am wrong.

Great idea sending in postage paid envelopes.
I would take it a step further and glue the envelope to a brick,
Or some other heavy object. Isn't the postage paid by weight?
Perhaps if these companies get enough bricks they will take your name off if the junkmail list
Just a thought.
You also have the option to to have only first class mail delivered. All that junk mail is pre paid, so the carriers are more then happy to not have to carry it if they don't have to. If you live in a house, just stop the carrier and make the request, or leave a note in the mail box.

I got so tired of getting junk mail that I started to do the same thing, however I kept a few cardboard boxes around that I cut up to envelope size sections and "fill" it out enough to bump up the postage as much as it can fit. I still get junk mail, but I wish I could see their faces when they get their ripped up spam contents and some nice carboard with the word NO written in large black marker.
I hate junk mail, but then again, if they pay for it, why not send it back equally as annoying as they sent it?
