The pornography test is a way to avoid having to deal with the
end-user's definition of spam. I'm going to give an example based on
your first question. I'm subscribed to this mailing list. Due to
the high volume of list traffic, I no longer want to receive the
emails. I click on a button in my MUA to report the email as spam
(it's unwanted). A feedback report is sent to the mailing list owner
with all user identifiers removed. There are ways around that but
let's not get into that. How does the mailing list owner deal with
the problem?
I agree, that particular scenario is difficult. However, not all feedback
reports have the user identifiers removed. IIRC the ARF spec mentions that
the practice exists, but is not recommended.
