Here's some scenarios in which I'm not sure what the best thing is to do.
A) User has multiple incoming accounts, presses the spam button, and the
outbound MSA doesn't match the incoming account. Hence the report goes
via unrelated third parties that might snoop on it. Do we care? The user
has said it's spam, after all.
B) Assume a model in which the spam reporting address is determined per
account, e.g., fetched from the POP or IMAP server via an extension. The
user for whatever reason moves a message from account A into the IMAP
mailbox for account B and then hits the spam button, which sends the
report to B, even though the message was from A. Do we care? It's the
user's fault, although I can think of some simple configurations that
would cause that, e.g., MUA based spam filter that puts all the junk into
the Junk folder on the first IMAP account.
C) I have a Gmail account and a Yahoo account. The Gmail account is set
up to fetch my Yahoo mail so I can see it all in one place. I use Gmail's
IMAP server to read my mail. (I really do this, by the way.) I hit the
spam button. Who should get the report?
1) Gmail since that's who I picked it up from
2) Yahoo since that's where the spam was sent
3) Gmail but they should also forward the report to Yahoo
R's,
