I can think of a very good reason not to forward complaint emails. Retaliation.

There is that, but the main reason is to prevent listwashing.
I don't understand, perhaps because I really don't know what listwashing is. Can you explain a little more?

thanks,

Listwashing means that the complaining addresses are removed from the spammer's list and the spammer just keeps on spamming because most people just delete rather than complain.
