Trust is a strong word in this context, but yes, this is the information I got 
from cdo...@microsoft.com in December in
response to abuse mails sent via spamcop:

    Hi,

     

    Based on the information you provided, it appears to have originated from 
an Office 365 or Exchange Online tenant
    account.

     

    To report junk mail from Office 365 tenants, send an email to 
j...@office365.microsoft.com   and include the junk
    mail as an attachment.

     

    This link provides further junk mail education

    Kindly,

I got the same response from "Ann" and "Rhodz", so it's probably not an issue 
with just one abuse worker's insufficient
knowledge.

When I revisit the trace information from spamcop it shows this:

    Cached whois for 52.168.145.55 : ab...@microsoft.com
    Using best contacts ab...@microsoft.com
    Using rdns to route to correct Microsoft department
    host 52.168.145.55 (getting name) no name
    failed, using default ab...@hotmail.com
    ab...@hotmail.com redirects to report_s...@hotmail.com

So it's possible that spamcop's heuristics to find the correct abuse address 
were misled by the missing reverse DNS
entry for that IP address. I don't know how it would fare with the current wave 
where rDNS shows cloudapp.azure.com, as
I've sent later reports directly. I'm going to try ab...@microsoft.com again, 
maybe that helps.

Cheers and thanks for taking your time to help me understand the issues,
Hans-Martin
