Except that that doesn't happen much these days. The number of bounces that
I see into my domain is very small compared with even a year ago. What
you're suggesting here would revive that problem in a new form.
As Steve noted, very few people press the spam button. It's not a very
effective way to mailbomb people.
In fact, my first action will probably be to configure my mail server to
remove the abuse-report header on inbound, outbound, and forwarded email.
Outbound I suppose, but why inbound or forwarded? Stuff that survives
your spam filters is considerably more likely to be from a real sender
than random spam. And what possible benefit is there to removing a
forwarder's AR? You want them to filter their spam better, don't you?
Will I add an abuse-report header of my own? Probably not, because that'll
mean (currently) creating a new email domain to collect the reports, trying
to work out a way of filtering the reports from the spam that reaches the
same address. And then doing something with the reports.
Why do you think you can't just set up an address in an existing domain
for the reports and put it in the AR header? The idea of overloading
the server name as a mail domain was a mistake that we're not doing.
R's,
John
