I have a feeling I have reported before to this address but why would the person designated to receive this email bounce it as spam?

Xavier Fernandez may be a technical or administrative contact rather that an abuse contact. Some organisations block spam-like messages, which could include spam reports, but don't filter messages to their abuse contact address so that spam reports can get through.

If Xavier is a tech or admin contact, this may not be clear in maxcom.com's Regional Internet Registry record, or the record may not even have an abuse contact listed, so reports may be getting sent to him even if he isn't the right person to contact. Maxcom.com doesn't have an entry in the abuse.net database.
