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.

We care that reports get lost. However, picking the wrong MSA should at
most result in a suboptimal delivery path. Was the destination address
correct?

Who knows. If the report arrives by any path other than a Message Submission Server, then the recipient has no reason to trust it.
