The only issue I have with just deleting the subscriber spam is that even IF their own address is the from and TO address very often ISPs block that mail as likely being spam. I know AOL would probably just block that and I'd never see it. Joan In a message dated 3/10/2013 4:31:23 P.M.

That in itself would alert the victim as to what's happened. Whether the hackers realise what they are doing or not is another matter of course. Even when it's a subscribed member, I still discard. Then again, I've had hackers still in control of an account who've responded to mail sent to it. I have an address I use to advise subscribers with compromised accounts. It's not used for any other purpose.
