(1) That is a very nice feature.  I have not heard of this kind
    of feature in any other mail client (but I lead a sheltered
    life :-). 

(2) Your proposed message is very understandable and communicates
    the point well enough.  Perhaps the question is how
    forcefully you want to make your point.  I am in the habit of
    (manually typing) something like this: 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 Dear Postmaster,
 
 The attached message seems to have come through your domain.  It
 is completely unsolicited and undesired.  I have no relationship
 with the sender.
 
 TIA...
 ----------------------------------------------------------------

This makes it clear (to most :-) that I do not blame him/her for
the spam (yet) and that I realize the spammer may be somehow
spoofing this postmaster's domain.  It also plainly states that I
did not ask for this e-mail (which should be understood when you
say "spam" but some people want it said). 

IANAL so maybe we should wait for someone with more credentials. 
As far as I am concerned either way works.  Thanks again for a
nice feature. 

Steve
