that users who are provided with a [Delete spam] button will begin to
treat it as a "quick unsubscribe" and cast a spam vote for all sorts of
things, e.g. just because they've changed their mind about receiving it.
I agree.
blacklists (scattergun aproach) tend to run at the whim of the blacklist
owner and the people who submit reports to them.
If the owner cracks a wally with you for some reason or if an idiot sharing
your server leaves an open formmail script that a spammer manages to find.
then that can cause irrepairable damage (as they do now).
Then they hide behind the "We don't enforce these lists. just provide a
public service" argument
sorry if I offend any one here who may run a blacklist.

The trouble with this is that people soon stop using it properly.
It's fairly clear from the behavior of AOL's "TOS Notification" system
that users who are provided with a [Delete spam] button will begin to
treat it as a "quick unsubscribe" and cast a spam vote for all sorts of
things, e.g. just because they've changed their mind about receiving it.
I'm not wild about the idea of a pull system for email, but it at least
would not have this issue; the [Delete spam] button would be replaced by
something more akin to killing a thread in a newsreader, which is more
often what the users seem to intend.
