But _please_ don't use it unless you know how to analyse headers and
are prepared to spend a few seconds resolving addresses to make sure
your complaint is going to the right place. !JunkMail does a good job,
but you need to make sure it's not sending complaints where it
shouldn't, otherwise you will only annoy people who deal with your
mails.
