The advantage of using the spamcop service is that they will look up the ISP automatically and they will find the spam-reporting address where the complaints should be sent. You say that many ISPs just ignore complaints from spamcop. Why should they be any more concerned about complaints sent directly by the spammer's victims? Also I have complained on some ocassions directly to the ISP. Oftentimes this will do some good. In the case of all the spams I get that originate from various servers located in Argentina I can't do anything about it no matter what I do, despite the fact that none of these spams are being sent over open relays. I think the Argentinian ISPs are in cahoots with the spammers. Maybe spamming is perfectly acceptable and legal in that country. I wish there were some way I could have all email messages sent to me from Argentinian ISPs to get bounced before they ever get sent to my POP3 server.
