Why not, _what_ goes wrong?
Do NOT assume that TiS buttons have anything to do whatsoever with
RFC2142, standardized role accounts, or whois "abuse-mailbox" entries.
Filter tuning doesn't, nor do FBLs (ARF'd or otherwise). While abuse@
_may_ get derivations of TiS reports via ARF in some specific cases that
are pre-arranged in advance, in no sense should we encourage such role
accounts to be target for a raw MUA (or even MTA) stream of complaints.
It seems to me that a simple filter could determine ARF/non-ARF
quality of a message in a fraction of the time that spamassassing
would take to process it, assuming abuse@ boxes are whitelisted.
