Initially I was cancelling these but I've now realized it's possible to uncheck the report_spam@hotmail report, check the 'user report' option under it, then fill in the abuse address for the ISP who's in charge of that particular IP address.
You can find this by looking in the headers for the point at which a non-Microsoft server has handed off the messaging to a Microsoft server and running a whois on the IP address of that hand-off server. From your link above this is the relevant section:...
So then you fill in abuse@level3.com into the blank 'user' field and submit that, instead.
HN Support,
Everyone can uncheck report_spam @ hotmail, but not everyone has the option to fill in user field. That's a spamcop premium user option.
Also, Filling in the optional user report field with the correct abuse email does not contribute to the blacklist for that spammer.

petzl,

Sometimes reports get sent thru to abuse@level3.com
About 25% reports get sent, and 75% reports are disabled.
I'm not sure why but definitely games are being played by this ISP.

It's open season on Hotmail users until parser gets fixed and can correctly identify source of spam.
Here is another example of mis-directed abuse reports...
https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6457322955zd3ebaf3de822b24885a674cf2ee4be95z
Parser mistakenly discards this crucial header line...
Received: from smtp12-iad-sp1.mta.salesforce.com (13.108.238.139) by AM5EUR02FT049.mail.protection.outlook.com (10.152.9.233) with Microsoft SMTP Server

HN Support... exactly right. It's a parser error.
The parser discarded the most important header...
Chain error HE1EUR02FT053.mail.protection.outlook.com not equal to last sender received line discarded
Hotmail changed its handling of incoming email about a week or two ago. It is messing up the parser.
Now every spam I report goes to report_spam @ hotmail.com.That's worse than useless, it wastes the time of abuse dept at hotmail.
Until the parser is fixed, there is no point in me reporting the spam I get in my hotmail account.

Microsoft/MSN Mailhosts missing IP addresses
in Mailhost Configuration of your Reporting Account
Posted
It's been a over a month and since I've been able to report spam arriving in my hotmail account.
All reports would be sent to report_spam@hotmail.com whether they had anything to do with source of spam or not.
I refuse to bother their abuse dept with frivolous reports.
