I would agree with this (as a paying user of SpamCop). It is probably helpful to report things to SpamCop so that open relays and proxies get identified, but I found that I had far more success at terminating spammer's accounts when I did the investigating and reporting myself. I now have a set of Kill filters that I use alongside Selective Download, so around 40 messages a day are being deleted on the server, and the remaining 1 or 2 I report via SpamCop.
