I'm surprised - I've never had any problems with SPAMCop. We've had relay problems, which I was able to resolve to their satisfaction and get off their list within hours. We've also been reported as spammers (we send bulk email out to our own customers, with an unsub option - we still get reported now and then), and I've been able to get that resolved just as quickly.
At the very least, with SPAMCop, they *do* respond. Osirusoft and SPEWS do not.

They blacklisted our domain erroneously for 8 days in August and a couple days in Sept. Numerous domains were unable to accept mail from us. We considered their actions a "Denial of Service" and had to threaten them with legal action to remove our domain name from their list.

Purusal of the archives with regards to Mr. Schwartz and Dr. Cumming about this time last year should provide some valuable insight to the issues with RBLs in general. That being said, I'm fairly impressed with the Spamcop.net RBL - they provide documentation of their blocked senders via the web, and are very quick to retest and remove if the problem has been solved. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
