However, the possibility of retracting a (mis-)classification may be 
useful in some cases.

Hm... it is not straightforward to establish whether new messages are 
/similar/ to already received ones. Checking an authenticated id, e.g. 
for messages received "with ESMTP[S]A", would be easier.

I'd be interested in the external service, not only because I'm not a 
big ISP, but also for the sake of neutrality, transparency, etc.

Obviously, it has to receive abuse reports... Perhaps not all the 
world's ones, just some. Which ones, by sending domain?

Is this service a Mythical Global Reputation System (TMGRS)?
