Actually, slight inaccuracy.  You can submit false positives for
investigation, which tends to take 1 business day.  If it was deemed to be a
false positive the message/thread is released and they adjust their policy
to hopefully not catch false positives of that type anymore.

If they deem it legitimate like in the case of someone reporting a phishing
e-mail to abuse, then you need to sign a release form before they'll release
the e-mail to you.
