The situation is one where we're hosting virtual lists. Without
being obvious about the fact that we're hosting the list, I'd
like recipients to know that they can contact us if there's any
abuse. We don't permit spam, and for the most part, it's not
a problem.
Nonetheless, if someone is mistakenly placed on a list (either due
to a misunderstanding or an overzealous list owner), I'd like the
recipient to know that they have recourse with us, rather than
having to complain to the upstream provider.
The problem is that from personal experience, I certainly don't trust
the abuse and postmaster addresses at domains from which I'm receiving
spam, and I wouldn't expect others to do so either.
Perhaps the best thing I can do is to put multiple URLs or mailto's
in the List-* headers so that the recipient can see our involvement.
