Bad idea, I think.
Certainly you should not mail the whois contacts using an automated tool, and I think it is not entirely wise to mail other mailboxes using such a tool if there is no human in the loop.
Well, this part of your argument against it is somewhat misdirected. He's suggesting this as part of the spamassassin -r. In theory this would only be used manually, and it would merely automate the generation of the report.
Personally I'd argue against it only because it would tempt ignorant mail admins to use it in an automated fashion.. and there certainly are a lot of those out there.
That and SA might not be able to accurately determine what IP needs to be reported.. (ie: is your first MX the most recent, or the second most recent received: line? is one of them forged to make it appear that a message went to your secondary MX, then to the primary and got scanned there, when in fact it came directly in?)
