Yeah, but, where would they get the reporting mail address? I mean, I may
recieve spam at A @ b . com, but submit them to SC from C @ d . com, the
report recipient shouldn't receive any information pointing to C @ d . com,
nor to E @ f . com which may be the SC account address. (Where SC's
acknowledgements go.) there well may be traces of A @ b . com in the spam
for a scanner to find.
