I understand from some others that have tried it that "spamhater" tends to
also blast some of the innocent (other) recipients of spam you get, so be
advised.

Note that it's almost NEVER worthwhile to complain to a spammer directly
anyway; complain to their Internet providers or to postmaster or abuse
mailboxes at the companies where the mail comes from.

At best, from a spammer, you'll get an "I'm sorry it won't happen again"
message (which some send out constantly, though they don't stop). At worst,
you might find yourself the target of a "revenge spam" (where they forge YOUR
e-mail address on the next spam they send out).
