I believe that having an optional "auto-abuse-mailbox" object (that is mandatory to use when present) dealing only with automated reports, could help anti-abuse operators (both in the report sending and receiving sides).
Let me add one consideration to what Tobias wrote: RFC 6650 splits abuse complaints between "solicited" and "unsolicited" ones. Also known as feedback loops, the former can be automated according to the underlying agreement. One can use a different reporting addresses for each subscription. Unsolicited complaints deserve a bit of thought: Who is sending them? Why? When such questions are cleared, the stream of reports from that operator can be directed to the appropriate bin, possibly by negotiating a different address with the report generator. In fact, that is the same as establishing a feedback loop, and it cannot be automated fully for the same reasons why subscriptions to the early kind of feedback loops cannot.
