Yes it is a simple process, I was just thinking of having that process as a ready in-built engine, or third-party engine in MTAs. For the moment as said it is mainly custome code. If such capabilities would be available in sendmail or postfix, that would allow fbl to be implemented by large organisations (like universities, etc...) easily.

ARF is pretty much unrelated to the MTA.

Sending of feedback loop reports is done by the MUA (for a fairly loose definition of MUA) and the handling of them is done by custom code that knows how to count and unsubscribe based on the reports - the ARF specific code in both cases is a trivial fraction of the whole application.

The MTA doesn't really get involved at all, other than to ship the ARF report around as an opaque RFC2822 message
