Useless use of cat. The adcomplain documentation says:
adcomplain <file

I haven't used adcomplain, so ymmv. Consider going to Spamcop.net,
getting a _free_ spam reporting address, and sending your Spam to
them. They'll analyze it to death and mail you back a URL where you
can go to see what they came up with, and finish (or cancel) the
report depending on what they found. If you go that way, they have a
perl script you can use to auto-report Spam.
