Therefore, the interface should be standardized, and the filter software should add a header, which provides an URL for the interface, to messages which pass through the filter.
Yes, something like that would be very good. Maybe we need to write an RFC for the "X-ReportSpam/Unwanted" header?
Yes -- in order to achieve the widest possible support among email client vendors, the specification needs to be a standards-track RFC.
Of course then the header shouldn't be an X- header, i.e. it should be "ReportSpam:" or "ReportUnwanted:" without the "X-".
I like "ReportUnwanted:" better than "ReportSpam:" because even if the button in the email client is labelled "report spam", people will click it for any kind of mail that they want to stop receiving, they'll not stop to think whether the message fits any specific definition of spam.
Greetings, Norbert.
