I am for the idea in concept (and actually do report "excessively spammy"
messages to Knujon), but modifying SA to do this directly may not be the best
way to do it, nor is it how I do it.  If the SA community does wish to modify
SA to do this directly, then I suggest that it allow an adminstrator to specify
a [LOCAL] virtual mailbox with which to deliver the spam.  That mailbox may be
expanded or aliased (e.g. sendmail's aliases file, or via mailing list
software) to deliver to more than one spam collecting service.

The above is what I do at my system.  I call SA via the MIMEDefang package
using the latter's "filter_end()" hook.  Depending on the actual score SA
reports, I progressively add more reporting-service mailboxes via the
"add_recipient()" function.  Knujon's mailbox is one of those aliased to one of
4 levels of reporting, including a routine that looks up the envelope sender's
domain at "abuse.net" to retrieve the abuse mailboxes.  (Either there was no
SPF or DK/DKIM records, or those records passed in order to get this far -- so
I'm either reporting spam that has NOT been forged, or spam where the domain
used doesn't care to protect itself against forgery.)  NONE of this requires
any modification to SpamAssassin, so modification is technically unnecessary.

Therefore, if I had a "vote" in the matter, I vote NO.  This can be done
without modification to SA -- and let's keep SA simple and efficient.
