I'd suggest

6.5.  A report generator SHOULD NOT send abuse reports to the Mail
>From domain unless the domain has been authenticated, e.g., if the
message has an SPF result of Pass, None, or Neutral. Similarly, a
report generator SHOULD NOT send abuse reports to the  header From
domain unless the domain has been authenticated.

I'd support MUST NOT for both if we make a case that "it is actually
required for interoperation or to limit behavior which has potential
for causing harm", as specificed in RFC 2119.
