I see, they probably think abuse.net is an abuse reporting hub like
SpamCop.

I only send abuse reports for a minimal part of the spam I get.  This
is not a policy, it is because I haven't yet managed to automate spam
reporting.  By "automate" I mean that clicking the spam button should
result in having a report sent out, with minimal manual intervention
on the server side.  Then, I'll be able to offer the same service to
my few users, and possibly contribute to an RFC about that.

I don't think I'd be able to manually send reports (and monitor their
effect) for a significant part of the spammy messages in my own inbox,
let alone doing so for my users, however few.  If we conclude that it
is not worth/feasible to automate complaining, how would we
characterize that minuscule part of abusive messages that deserve
being reported?
