Frankly, anything but in the email itself will be abused. abuse@ is
already useless.
One of my jobs is at an ISP. We maintain an abuse@, and I'm one of the
people who gets mail from it.
The ham/spam ratio I see in that mail stream is substantially higher
than it is for the other mail I get through them (and there are a
handful of other role addresses at that same ISP that forward to
me-among-others, so I do have something to compare with). Indeed, the
abuse@ mail stream is practically nothing but real abuse reports -
presumably of real abuse, though I don't really know because
investigating them is not one of my jobs there.
Of course, others' experience may - probably will - differ. But
"abuse@ is useless" disagrees with my experience.
