No comment about the usage of M$ Outlook as your MUA.

But replying to spam is widely known as being harmful. 
If you reply to spam, the spammer gets the info that the address
is actually read by a human, and thus will get far more spam.
Fortunatly, your reply did not reach the spammer, but the list.
This is pretty annoying, because i will your mail complaining
about spam, but the actual spam was already filtered out.

Please just filter the spam you receive using a kind of filter program.
The two most widely known ones are spamassassin and bogofilter.
Both work with procmail, maildrop and .qmail.
