I really couldn't get it to work.  I got some kind of exception, but I 
don't remember what.  I'm using a derby database for the spools and 
such.  I think it had a problem with finding a place to put things.  I 
wasn't sure what to do to get it to work, so I turned it off.  Should I 
give it another shot and provide you people with error details?  I 
assumed it wasn't a fully implemented feature yet.

This is a problem.  I thought spamcop would work better than it does.  It 
is far better than the other blacklist, but still lets through a lot of 
spam.
