where in the heck is this coming from?

You are either a competitor, or you are an irate admin who needs a day off.

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?

>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.
