Abuse!

Abuse is a simple program which will help you fight back spam. It will "read" any e-mail header, go on-line and check NICs, open relay DBs and black-listed IP ranges to discover the address of the abuse-desk you should write to.

Abuse! is a useful security utility that has the mission to protect your computer.

Further it will tell you if the sender's IP address is an open relay or is blacklisted as a spam source.

Simply right click on a desired e-mail and Abuse will automatically extract headers and either print the relevant abuse-desks or directly e-mail them a letter of complaint (LART).

Abuse is still in a beta phase and some of the features we had planned have not yet been implemented (full caching system, integration with main e-mail clients, a more intuitive interface...), please bear with us while we work on improving the code.
