"Now before you try to tell me "well you should've forwarded the email and been done with it" those guys are going to be pissed as fuck if I pass along every spam link trying to sell me boner pills"

I know you say the team would be pissed, but it's actually the exact opposite! Firstly, most sophisticated companies have automated the abuse inbox management process, but even when it's not automated, I'd rather 100 easily ignorable reports about boner pills than one person not send an actual spear-phishing email. Plus we can use the generic spam reports to better train our spam filters so please do keep sending them, even the Nigerian prince stuff.
