The program only goes after site for which it has instructions to complain to. When the author receives spam that advertises a site, the author actually visits the site to see if it meet the criteria for inclusion on the list of spamvertised sites. The email addresses the author uses to collect the spam has never been given to the public. They only exist to collect spam. The program only complains once for each URL that is contained within spam and then, only if the URL is in the Instruction file. There is very little danger in an innocent site receiving complaints.

Isn't that still illegal, even if the company is illicit in the first place? What about the danger that you accidentally initiate this attack against a non-spammer because the program thinks that the e-mail is spam?
