Now /there's/ one way to not have to get replies - no reports.

I knew there was something wrong with the idea of no replies besides not
being able to check and make sure the reporting was being performed
properly -- there's also no way to know the submit didn't get lost or
that the parser didn't get 'lost'.

It seems like a generally bad idea to turn off quick report replies.


I can think of some other things that would be better to turn off or
make user configurable, like resolving and notifying spamvertiser
providers.

Let the reporter configure if s/he wants to resolve and notify
spamvertiser providers or if s/he would rather just notify the devnull
for the name and feed the spamvertiser to the sc-surbl.

That way the sc-surbl wouldn't be losing so many spamvertisers that SC
doesn't resolve and that way the reporters wouldn't be feeding evidence
to so many spamvertiser provider blackhats.
