Existing users, 
This program is not intelligent enough to figure out the real source of spam, so it sends complaints to abuse desks of every IP and domain in the email. For example, this program may send complaints to seven different abuse desks when only two are appropriate. Basically you are (loosely) spamming abuse desks! Even worse, if your internet provider is involved in getting mail to you, then Sp@mX may even send a complaint TO YOUR OWN PROVIDER. Stupid, stupid program.
Apparently abuse desks are blocking Sp@mX complaints because they are so innaccurate. Why bother using this thing if nobody will see your complaint in the first place?

The original comment seems intelligent. I certainly don't want to use something that just blindly emails every IP address in the headers and certainly not my own ISP! How about an actual response regarding the accuracy of this person's comment rather than a knee-jerk ad hominem argument?Wednesday, December 15 2004 @ 12:04 PM PST

>it sends complaints to abuse desks of every IP and domain in the email. For example, this program may send complaints to seven different abuse desks when only two are appropriate.Well, this might be a positive thing. If other IP addresses and domains are open relays, Sp@mX might be (rightly so) one more voice urging open relays to be closed.
>Even worse, if your internet provider is involved in getting mail to you, then Sp@mX may even send a complaint TO YOUR OWN PROVIDER. Stupid, stupid program.
This might be good and it might be back. See above comment. The negative side is that is rarely good to upset your ISP.
>Apparently abuse desks are blocking Sp@mX complaints because they are so innaccurate. Why bother using this thing if nobody will see your complaint in the first place?
THIS would be a legitimate criticism of the product. Is there any evidence that this is in fact the case? One person writing it in a comment does not make it so (and it does not invalidate the claim either). If the author of this critique could offer up a link or some form or verifiable proof, that would go a long way in making their argument.

this comment was posted by an admin that "demanded an apology" from me "or else", for a very human chain of verbal mud slinging between us. He got rude, I got ruder, he got even more rude, blah blah...BTW v3.0.7 doe NOT send out abuse complaints blindly to every ISP in the IP chain, and using this version, if someone can point out that it was incorrect in it's complaint, then I fly to the country of origin, and buy them a beer, and watch them drink it!

Ha! You convinced before this, though. I bought the software a couple of days ago.
