SpamCop is a very important test, and I would imagine that with a week's work, they could correct all issues with tagging mail servers that handle over 50% of legitimate E-mail traffic in the US.
For years, I have thought that they should return the spam/total ratio for mailservers (which they keep track of), in a TXT record. That would give people the option of choosing their own level. Clearly mail from a mailserver that has 98 legitimate E-mails for every 2 spams reported is much more likely to be wanted than mail from a mailserver where there are 0 legitimate E-mail for every 100 spams reported.
To get around the problem of requiring special support to process the TXT records, they could do something like return 127.0.0.1 for a mailserver that has 0-10% spam, 127.0.0.2 for one that has 11-20% spam, etc. While not as precise as using the TXT record, it would be compatible with existing spam programs.
