What's wrong with abuse@livejournal.com as specified in RFC 2142?

Or even an autoresponder from spam@, saying that the email address is not monitored, and here's how to deal with spam, for something that is Not Spam, here's how to contact Abuse?

The Abuse Team will redirect you to the Bot Reporting form - http://www.livejournal.com/abuse/bots.bml. All spam bots need to be reported here for aggregating purposes and to help devs develop better spam fighting tools. The Abuse Team is extremely small and comprised of mainly volunteers, and forwarding emails like this to them prevents serious issues from being handled as quickly as they need to be.

I like the idea of an emailable version of the Bot Reporting form, but this seems like it should be a low priority when there's already a way to easily report bots.
