Ian, it seems to me that your feeling for problem #2 causes a
misrepresentation of problem #3. I'd express them as
Problem A: report spam for complaining (was #3)
Problem B: tune servers' filters (was #2)
I don't think it's useful to try and solve both of them at the same time.
I'm completely confused by this message. I really don't understand at all
what it is that you're saying. Problem B is about how you handle reports
once you have them. I don't understand what "Problem A: report spam for
complaining" means at all.
Are you saying that POP3 managers will process reports differently than
IMAP managers will? My guess is that the value of the reports will be
similar, and the actions taken as a result will be similar. Whether POP or
IMAP, the actions to take might include tuning filters; passing complaints
back down the delivery path; feeding local or shared reputation services,
etc.
