Sam Spade (software)

Sam Spade is a discontinued Windows network investigation tool used to help trace sources of email spam. The same name was also used for a related free web service that provided access to similar lookup tools. The utility was written by Steve Atkins in 1997 and was named after the fictional detective Sam Spade.

The SamSpade.org website was still available in early 2004, but later reported outage problems caused by "blackholing of SamSpade.org by several RIRs and general heavy usage."
