Actually, I believe the swendeleter website

specifies that it only

Mind you, I'm a complete newbie at the webserver thing, so before you
do what I did, you might want to wait and see whether some more
experienced folks point out some glaring prob
to the spammer's ISP. Add your own comments if
you want, and hit send.
Spam reported through this mechanism is submitted to SpamCop's RBL at
