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.
That is one of the reasons why SpamCop has false positives at certain
times. See (http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/357.html):
"f my IP is listed, does it mean I am a spammer or my ISP hosts spammers?
Not necessarily. The SCBL aims to list IP addresses only involved in the
source or unauthorized relay of spam. The statistics that the SCBL
relies on are generated by reports from fallible humans, and
unfortunately innocent parties that have not sent any spam sometimes get
listed."
