Score 'em statistically. Whitelist when they goof. Humans make
mistakes. And sometimes they're right when the filters aren't. Design
for it, including methods to intervene when necessary. No big deal.
Out of curiosity, have your users been instructed on how to use the TiS buttons
(and to use them in the first place, instead of just clicking delete) or do you
just trust them to do the right thing (most of the time)? And do you think it
would scale to larger, more anonymous organizations such as ISPs?
Unrelated to that, if most MUAs got a TiS-button, wouldn't this allow
spammers/botherders to effectively DDOS the systems that process the feedback,
thus making them (temporarily) useless? I could see why spammers would see an
advantage in doing that.
