How to I report suspicious emails to Apple?

I tried to forward some suspicious emails using reportphishing@apple.com and it was returned because it contained spam. I am on my MacBook. It makes no sense to me that the reporting address rejects the email because it contain spam. Isn't that the whole point? Any other suggestions?

MacBook, macOS 11.5
