I will admit, it's one of the faster ways I pick up on phishing campaigns 
against our users.  So I'm not entirely against it.

I'm in the camp of not replying to every report.

FWIW abuse@whatever seems to be a favorite in many spammers' lists. 
 
I doubt that's their intent, seems like a good way to draw attention 
to the spam from people with access to blocking lists etc, so I'll 
guess they just blindly harvest web sites etc and abuse@whatever shows 
up frequently. 
 
That certainly doesn't help with the volume, some of that slips thru 
spam filters, it adds up.
