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
Very much Gmail. If they want to chain it back to Yahoo as part of their
FBL, they can.
Even though the mail was never received by Gmail, just fetched by
them from the IMAP server it was delivered to?
POP server, actually, but sure, it's advice to gmail on server tuning.
If the reporting address is included in the AR header as added at the
Yahoo MX, that would't be overwritten by Gmail, I don't think?
Depends whether they want to handle the reports, which they very well
might, e.g., mark their copy as spam, tune filters, then pass it along
to whoever they got it from.
It occurs to me that this could work reasonably well in a dumb
forwarder case. If A forwards to B, and A supports spam reports but B
doesn't, A's header will still be there for the recipient.
