I got my first "Abusix Potentially Compromised Account Report" today,
I'm so lucky.

It is useless. It's warning us about activity relating to domains that
don't have users. Activity not originating from or directly targeting
anything hosted by us.

No thanks? We want only reports of actual abuse, not maybes based on
when you see somebody on the other side of the earth trying to forge
my domain name. This is only slightly less annoying than the
backscatter that we used to see when people would forge our domain
name in spam back before DMARC and email authentication.

Find a way to add this new data to some opt-in style report like how
DMARC reports work, if you want. But shotgunning it without consent
and understanding is bad form. It's not like a 1:1 email spam report
-- effectively the only type of commonly welcomed unsolicited
complaint report. And it's not even really unsolicited, in that it's a
response to activity seen originating from my network. This Abusix
report fails those measures. You might as well be sending me emails
telling me that I'm hacking your port 80.
