Well when you have taken every precaution to make sure you are not a
spammer and follow their guidelines and you still end up in their
database it is very frustrating. Most of these blacklists are run by
some guy who decided he would help eliminate spam. I am all for doing
away with spam but who are they to be such jerks and stop a legitimate
company from doing business. There should be one organization that
controls this so when you prove you are not a spammer you don't have to
find 10 different places to remove yourself. They really aren't user
friendly at all.

Spamcop does not list based on technical criteria, such as being an open
relay, but on user nomination. They have an extensive disclaimer that
this has a high chance of generating false positives, and people should
not use the list to block email but just as an indication that it should
be more closely scrutinized.

Why are they the bad guys, when they do exactly what they claim they
will do and there are just some mail admins that ignore their warnings
not to use it as a general purpose blocklist? Aren't these mail admins
at fault? Or the users that submit the wrong reports?
