David,

Mostly right, however the E-Mails are most often undeliverable because the
spammer includes a fake return address.  He (or she or it) is most often
only interested in you clicking on his link (included in the spam message)
or to phone a telephone sucker hot-line he hosts.

As far as complaining to the abuse@domain.name, I am convinced that exept
for the rare domain admin, these are just dumped.  I think the abuse@
addresses are provided just to placate irrate spam victims and to give them
a place to vent their legitimate frustrations with this vile luncheon meat.

My 2¢
