Inspired by the two exchanges quoted below:
GMail (and presumably other ESPs wit web frontends and mail apps)
has a "report spam" button for human's to ...
report individual messages as spam, which I belive is fed back into
the spam-classifier.
Would it be useful to include a link in each email header, similar to
List-Unsubscribe: and relatives, but unique to each message sent,
so that recipients could give similar feedback to the sending service ?
Sure, it will be gamed, but I'd hope that was easier for an AI
to spot in volume than for it to classify spam/not-spam.

How much would it help if there was a machine readable format for
spam reports? What would you want in such a report? Are comments
like "sent to a spamtrap" or "harvested from usenet" or "repurposed
from xxx" helpful?
How often do you need more than just a copy of of the spam? For
example, if the spammer rotates his server address, it may have
moved between when I looked it up and when you look it up.

So you would gladly pay thousands of people to deal with abuse reports
which are, well, not actually abuse reports. And a lot of them. I wouldn't.
For the sake of the sanity of those people alone.
