extract a reporting address
from the message and send it an ARF report.
Which means that the email service provider has to decide what to do with
messages that arrive carrying such a reporting address. I don't see what
you can do except remove it - given that we're talking about junk email
here.
Then it has to insert its own header into every message.
Then the client has to try to figure out whether the reporting address was
inserted by the spammer, or by their email service provider.
Given that a "This is spam" button should only be reporting to the
mailstore administrator, it's completely over the top to insert the address
into every message. The address is a property of the mailstore, not the
message.
