Sent my first Spam report to Microsoft tonight

Are you using this?

Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Tool version 1.0 for Microsoft Office Outlook

I installed it and sent my first email report today.  Pretty neat, but it actually sends the email to:  'abuse@frontbridge.com'

If you try to resolve frontbridge.com in a web browser, it goes here:  http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/default.mspx

The receipt for submitting a report, could cause more Spam.  Here’s what I receive back from Microsoft:

This is an automated reply from the Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services, Spam Analysis Department no additional correspondence will be sent to you.

We appreciate your spam submission. You will receive this auto-reply message only once per day if you submit multiple emails for evaluation in a 24 hour period. Some additional information is as follows:

* Spam submissions are processed seven days per week and blocks for new spam become effective on the following day.

* The best way to report spam is to send the offending message as an attachment along with the full original Internet headers.

Thank you for assisting us in controlling unwanted email.

This makes spam reporting easy, but I'd prefer to a) moderate the submissions by having it go to an interal address and b) submit to my spam filter provider so it will do me some good.  

Currently all our internal abuse reporting comes in without headers because its too much trouble for the user to follow the instructions on how to submit with full headers.

I noticed that the latest release of Exchange Hosted Services (EHS) Release 5.5 went live last week.
