Being an ex sysadmin, recognise them - you missed the complaints from
recipients of spoofed MAIL FROM: emails ;-)
That said, surely it is not unreasonable to expect at least a response from
a technically accurate and reasoned complaint that includes the original
spam with headers complete and intact ?
Some ISP's will aggressively check their own netblocks for open relays - I
know mine does and that some people think of it as a nuisance - but if you
are savvy enough to set up a sane MTA, then you are savvy enough the
blackhole the relay checks, so no big deal really.
Except of course the *really* dumb ones that just look for the 550 response
rather than receiving the relayed mail itself but we are then back into the
domain [sic] of dummies again.

How about a "fit to use the internet" licence like you have for driving or
flying ?
Or owning a firearm.... nah, forget that one......

Cheers.
