First of all, "SPAM" is a trademark and is owned by Hormel Foods.
http://www.spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm
UBE/UCE is called "spam" (note the lower-case writing)
Owning a domain (or even more), trying to get it whitelisted and whining not
being an expert does imply a lot of things in an anti-spamming community.

A regular user (dial-up) logs into spamcop. His IP address changes every
time
he connects to his ISP. Following his IP address only gets you to his ISP,
and
that ISP (i.e Bellsouth, or <place your spam friendly ISP here>) would of
course in your suggestion be "innocent".
You're talking about a subdomain (i.e. Bellsouth/mydomain). You also said
(and
the subject title notes it) that (I quote)
"I just made an embarrassing mistake. I got two emails from someone selling
search engine access. They had my domain in the body."
First of all, if I receive spam with my domain in the body, I take more
action
than trying to get spamcop to mark it as innocent. And I can assure you,
that
chickenboner would be eating only the bones and cardboard of the KFC
leftovers
behind his trailer.
Besides that, I would *know* who my ISP is, and I would *know* that I should
inform my ISP about the abuse/Joe-job in case more of them arrive.

Everybody who has replied has shown the same *valid* concern, but you seem
to
be like an ignorebot or troll (the latter which I don't really want to use
yet,
although this thread has expanded to trollsize magnitude) who doesn't want
to
accept things he's being told, and just wants to keep on and on and on.
You don't even answer to questions experts have asked.
Maybe you read through the thread, and try to learn from the replies.
and here's some freebie for you:
