I receive [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I'm very familiar with those too :-(
Basically, the person at fault is the user who is reporting the spams and
who includes the URL of your list archive in the spam as a spamvertised
website.
What I do is reply back to the user telling them to learn how to use the
damn tool and stop wasting postmasters' time, and Cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] so
that they can take action against the user.
In your case, I'm pretty sure they'd ban the user from spamcop, I've found
the spamcop folks very nice and helpful.
If you use mailman or some MLM that always includes your URL at the bottom,
and you get many bogus reports, you can also ask the spamcop guys to add a
regex to exclude your URL so that users don't get the option of reporting
this as a spam website.

PS: Spamcop was always nice and helpful, even before they were hosted on
sourceforge.net.
