SPAMReporter

Version
2.0
SPAMReporter is a powerful award winning spam
reporting tool that works by analyzing the email
header information and determining where the email
originated on the Internet. Many spam messages
attempt to hide their tracks by forging entries into
the header. SPAMReporter checks each line to
determine its authenticity and signaling out the
actual entry point onto the Internet. Once the entry
point is found, SPAMReporter then finds an Abuse
contact for the IP owner, and sends an email
containing all the evidence and information, in the
format they require to suspend or terminate the
offending account.
SPAMReporter differs from on-line header analyzers and
spam filtering programs that report by using a special
system folder on your desktop called SPAMDrop.
Completely unattended, SPAMReporter will check this
folder and processes all messages it contains. This
allows you move all your spam from your Inbox to the
SPAMDrop folder and let SPAMReporter take care of the
rest.
Reporting spam to the owner of the IP where the
message originated is by far the best way to stop spam
on the internet, as most of these IPs are systems with
security problems that the Spammer has compromised.
SPAMReporter works with any email application that
allows the drag and drop messages from the inbox. If
your application does not allow this or you are using
a webmail application such as Hotmail, SPAMReporter
can convert these messages and add them to the
SPAMDrop with the Webmail conversion feature.
Stopping spam at the source, where it originates, is
the only way to eliminate Spam. Filtering is a good
idea, but not the answer to spam.
