Because this is an issue inherent primarily with bulk mail, we remove all identifying information *except* the unsub link, which *should* have a unique identifying token embedded within, from which the sender *should* be able to determine the complainant's email address.
Hi Anne, Judging from Landon's web page a vanishingly small percentage of his customers are in the opt-in mailing list business. He's in the generic hosting business, so aside from the abusers his customers will tend to be heavy on single-recipient administrative emails rather than mailing lists. If you send him a complaint scrubbed in the manner you describe, he won't have enough information to act. You'd basically be wasting both his time and yours.
Failure to do so can (and usually does) result in termination of their accreditation
