It would help if the spam report that's generated clearly identified the host that added it. If that header included something like: Scanned for spam by host mail.small-web-host.com (172.17.2.3) then it might give the user more of a clue as to who they need to talk to. Obviously this isn't a cure-all, not least because it relies on the system running SA to have a meaningful name and be configured correctly. But I think it would help. (In addition, it would be nice if the added *headers* also included one indicating what host had done the scanning.)
