I get a lot of rejected messages when I report spam to the abuse@ address of
the ISP that sent it to me. Turns out that Google does the same thing:

<google-cloud-compliance at google.com>: host aspmx.l.google.com[74.125.20.26]
     said: 552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a
     potential 552-5.7.0 security issue. Please visit 552-5.7.0

     message content and attachment content guidelines. n13si12552482plp.42 -
     gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command)

Of course there's a security issue with one of their customers, that's why I
reported it.

Why do I bother reporting any spam if ISPs don't care to stop it?
