The presupposes that people will report problems.  The situation with
spam shows clearly that when the problem gets big enough, people will
*stop* *reporting* *incidents*.

Out of a clear blue sky, one of my servers found its way into the CBL.
No spam reports, none at all.  (I'm the Abuse Investigator, the one who
