I wonder if replying to a "do not reply" email 1000 times a second would have any ill effect in their servers.

Best you can do is report spam. If enough do that, it’ll give their IT dep a headache.

Likely not. Many times the address doesn’t even have a mailbox, so it immediately bounces. If you reply enough to actually have an effect, you’ll either be blacklisted, or reported as spam.
