I agree I hate SpamCop also, but I love TMDA it saves my inbox every day.
I however got tired of so much spam that I also implemented magic-mail
to go with my qmail install. I got to the point where I stopped blacklisting
with TMDA because of all the extra traffic to non-existing email address.
Now I just leave them to TMDA for timeouts and changed that to 12 hours.
I recently made a small script to parse the maillog and check for BLOCKED
attempts for non-existing email address and I'm now blocking those that
attempt to spam more than 5 times with IPTABLES. Its cruel because my
scripting isnt that great but it works and besides having to contact
SpamCop every couple of months :( I'm doing this now so I dont have to send
out so many challenges :)
Anyway take a look, if any one can use this great or improve it even better.
