Please find me more thant 10 legitimate abuse reports that come from
real human fingers
and are not generated by some ridiculous "intrustion dectection" or
auto-mail-to-abuse@ thing
that were mailed to postmaster@IP_ADDRESS.

I'm sure most users are not aware of that part of the RFC, and would
not add their IP's - especially
because they don't want to receive all the spam directed to it which
is why they run spamd.

I for one will not put them there, because doing so is just silly.
nothing legitimate ever mails
to such addresses, or if they do they have enough brains to mail the
domain, or the owner of
the IP block.

Yes, that is what the SPAMTRAP feature in spamdb is for. It does
exactly that, and as documented, traps a single mail address.. As
documented, spamd.alloweddomains traps anything not in the
alloweddomains file.  If you don't like that feature, please do not
use it.
