I use article assistant by Rob Benwell and it's really good for submitting articles in that it populates the fields on the directory sites but I still have to log in to each one and so some manual stuff.

One of the directories I got to had a page up saying that this was no longer the correct submission page and that if I was seeing it I had either been given an old URL or my submission software had brought me there.

It then went into a big lecture saying that using submission software is spamming and unprofessional and really not on at all.

I don't think there's anything spammy about using software that populates the article field, teaser, title, keywords, resource box etc and cuts down the time. Even with using the software it takes a good few hours to submit 1 article to all the directories.

I think it really depends how you use it. If you are submitting good quality, original, well written articles, I don't really see how it could be considered spamming. I mean, do these directories want article or not?
