3. I am using the SpamCop reporting tool[1] to file complaints to ISPs

engineering messages and classify them manually in order to report
them to SpamCop.
I am, unfortunately, familiar with SpamCop (and all the other similar
'tools'). As a listed contact for over 16million Internet IP addresses I
receive notices from such 'tools' all the time, and I've *never* had one
that is accurate yet.
They are incredibly dumb pieces of software that achieve nothing other
than annoying innocent sys admins and giving their mis-guided users a
warm feeling. Please stop using them [1].

[1] Try here for a better header tracer: http://www.3dmail.com/spam/
I have found no problems with spamcop's header parser (always reviewing
what it finds). I think they're doing a good job, although I won't
trust anybody's RBL _fully_. I built my own, and don't trust even that
fully. The drawback is that the only software I know with which I can
"score" rbl's is spamassassin, which checks _after_ the mail is
received. If anybody knows such a beast (at best a Postfix policy
daemon), drop me a line...
