Good point. The only thing I can say is that at least
the "barrier to entry" is fairly high. It takes a bit
of thought to understand exactly how Spamcop works and
to get things set up properly. Once configured, if the
user takes the time to check out messages and only report
real honest-to-God SPAM, it's quite powerful.
I use it on my personal mailbox, and on my wife's. I
seldom actually report SPAM with it; I just log on once
a week or so, sweep the held mail for keepers, and then
do a mass-delete. I've found it to be more than 90%
accurate at identifying and stopping SPAM.
WXW's right, though; it's frighteningly simple to report
a message as SPAM, and it doesn't take too many morons
like Lynn has encountered to make admins start to ignore
the reports.
