Pitched with feisty slogans like “Sp@mX Fights Back, One Spammer In The Slammer!” and “stops spam and phishing at the source”, Sp@mX traces and reports spammers to their Internet Service Providers.

The reporting process itself is automated and simple. The company that develops the software plans to use it to put at least one spammer in jail by the end of 2006 and to bankrupt the most “spammer-friendly” ISP in the USA.

Does it make a difference? Who knows? Judging by the comments on MacUpdate and VersionTracker, some users feel that they are fighting back by using it, and that’s not nothing.

Sp@mX costs USD 19.95 and is available from the developer’s web site.
