I agree with both these ideas. The DNSBL lookup could actually be a 'front
end' to the mechanism, so that people don't send a report if an IP has
already been removed from the whitelist(s). Saves time dealing with old
problems....
Excellent idea, Charles.

Possibly. Most people accept that this sort of abuse is not a fault WITH
'linkedin', but merely abuse OF 'linkedin' and so they send their abuse
report to linkedin directly.
I've never received any and I am a member. Every invite has been from
somebody with a "solid" connection to me. (Which is easy - I'm not a
very social animal. {^_-})
