That looks like the less than fabulous "spam hater" program in action. It writes complaint mail automatically, and is very easily confused by forged headers. I get enough screwed up spam hater mail at abuse.net that I got the guy who wrote the program to default the complaints to a special subdomain of abuse.net just for spam hater users so I can tell them using simple direct language why they're hosed. Not much to do about it other than to send them a boilerplate message encouraging them to learn how to recognize forged headers and to join CAUCE.
