That sounds like a nice idea to me -- a configuration option for an SMTP relay
to use for sending the report, rather than connecting directly to the SpamCop
MXes.  That feature has already been requested as bug #4684, and I think it may
be a better solution for this bug also.

But I notice the reports are submitted to the SpamCop MXes on port 587 instead
of the standard port.  I imagine that is to avoid transparent, filtering SMTP
relays which some ISPs seem to use.  Hopefully it's still possible for people
to submit the report to SpamCop on the standard SMTP port if they know their
ISP does not do this kind of filtering.  And otherwise, their SMTP relay would
have to be configured to deliver SpamCop reports on port 587 (assuming that
port isn't filtered too).

In my situation I could simply put the report into the system's normal mail
queue and I think it would be delivered.  The reporter would 'complete' almost
immediately, whilst the relay takes care of delivery attempts.  Although some
people might want to be able to specify an SMTP relay for situations where they
filter their outgoing mail, or need to deliver to port 587 as I mentioned
above.
