I had a brief and not terribly productive exchange with Hendrickson in
which I explained that his software was (in my opinion) buggy and that
it would not improve the spam problem.  He did not seem amenable to the
idea of fixing it.

He said (on his own proposal, not mine!) that he would whitelist our
address range from future versions of the software.  Since then I
haven't gotten any further erroneous complaints from his users, and I'm
a bit ashamed to say I didn't follow the matter any further.

I'm not surprised to find that his is clearly dishonest with critics,
since that seems to be common behavior among authors of buggy and ill-
conceived software.

A Google search revealed that Sp@mX is listed prominently on a number of
"downloads" sites, including Apple's.  In penance for getting
whitelisted, I've just sent Apple a request that it be removed,
referencing Rik van Riel's Web page and this thread.

By induction, every program can be reduced to one line which does not work.
