Be very careful with using that list, and read the page carefully. Most important is the first part: >This blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used >in a production environment where legitimate email must be delivered. There's good reason for that warning. The 2% spam threshold isn't really a spam threshold, it's a "someone told Spamcop it was spam" threshold. There is NO vetting of those reports, so there have been a number of cases where bogus reports have caused perfectly legitimate sites to be listed. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
