Feedback loops are sent in machine parseable formats like ARF (RFC
5965) to separate, dedicated mailboxes that are read by scripts which
then process the reports to automate whatever action needs to be taken
for AUP enforcement, filtering etc.  Every single report spam click by
a user on hotmail, yahoo etc is fed through their feedback loops (like
JMRPP for hotmail)

abuse mailboxes are read by ISP support staff and complaints are
manually handled.
