Reporting Process
- Spencer sends a message to Alice.
- Alice complains to Isaac (her ISP) about the message, e.g. by hitting the report spam button.
- Isaac encapsulates the message as either an Abuse Reporting Format MIME part, or (less commonly) a standalone message/rfc822 MIME part, and sends it to Spencer if Spencer has signed up to receive that feedback. Otherwise, RFC 6650 provides for auto-subscribe just-in-time FBLs, started by sending an unsolicited abuse report that contains further directives (at a minimum, a way to unsubscribe).
In rare cases, these feedback loops may not be based on user reports. For example, they may be based on automated virus detection, or similar mechanisms.

Famous quotes containing the words reporting and/or process:
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
