Nope, the point was it can finally lead to violation of privacy and
legal risks.
Since you probably speak Russian, I can give some good example.
As you may be know, E-mail in Russia is regulated by Telecommunication
Act (Закон о связи).
Article 63.4 ("communication privacy") says "Information about messages
sent via electronic communications ... and said messages .... can only
be provided to sender or recipient ...".
To make a ruf report one should send information about message to
address which is neither sender nor recipient.
Your argumentation is very good to explain a technical staff why some
partial information can be safely sent to some site. The only problem
is, there is no need to explain it here, you should satisfy a lawyer.
