In that case, I would contact your ISP and let them know what happened.
Include the original email and headers that they provided and annotate it to
point out the places in the headers that prove your point. (my server
received it here, it was rejected due to invalid address here, it was
received by the complainer here, it was forwarded to spamcop here, etc.)  I
have had to do this before.

If you prove to them that you didn't send spam then they should accept your
explanation.  If not, then they are just being unreasonable.  Your mail
server was simply acting as it should.  It may also cause them to review
these types of complaints before sending them on to their customers with
such threatening wording, although this was probably forwarded to you via
some sort of automated system so I wouldn't count on them changing their
processes.

This is just another way we as mail admins have to defend our networks
against spammers.  The ISP *SHOULD* do the work of verifying the
authenticity of the complaint before they contact their customer about it,
but many of them foist that workload off on us.  FWIW, I was successful in
getting my ISP to review complaints before forwarding them to me, but I
don't know how successful you will be with yours.
