I feel you could handle this in rules in your .forward.  I've not set
things up myself, but I think that if you've already got a filter
somehow marking the "businesses which don't respond to unsubscribe..."
if you do that, before they hit the, "this is legitimate spam" filter,
you could potentially (though I'm not sure it's best practices) just
forward those on.  

No idea as to whether that address is effective with anything that gets
reported.
