Hello,

PC>> Unfortunately, the folks at SpamCop aren't listening. They believe they
PC>> are on the side of Righteousness And Good, and thus are above reproach;
PC>> they also seem to have total faith in their technology. But consider:

PC>>      I have recently been getting spam addressed to a disposable
PC>>      address that I have ONLY ever used when submitting spam to
PC>>      SpamCop. The address consists of a string of 12 random letters
PC>>      at the given domain, so it is not likely from a dictionary
PC>>      list. Kinda makes you want to go "Hmmmmmmm". --- Glenn Wolf

I haven't followed the entire thread about this, but thought I'd throw
in my $.02 :)

I believe SpamCop actually warns you that that could happen.

If I read the warning/notice correctly, it's possible for spammmers to
get the new email address when SpamCop sends a complaint to the
spammer's listed (via dns) "ISP". Sometimes the spammer is also set up
as their own ISP so the spammer himself receives all the complaints
instead of an upstream ISP that would terminate the account. Spammers,
being the <sarcasm> scrupulous </sarcasm> people that they are, take
the complaint, harvest all the email addresses out of it and add them
to their database.

Great family fun, eh? :)
