I think a better way to describe it is the other way around. Normally 'spamassassin -r' reports go to spamcop anonymously. But if you set spamcop_submission_address then it will use your spamcop account. SpamCop reports will have greater effect if you register and set the "spamcop_submission_address" option. Using your account will mean that all of the spamcop rules apply. That means you need to confirm your spamcop submissions. But then they have more weight than anonymous reports. I also have a spamcop account. But I only review my caught spam periodically and often too late for useful reporting to spamcop. Therefore I don't set the reporting address. I manually report spam that slipped through spamassassin as soon as I see it enter my normal mailbox. The spam that that is hard to catch needs the RBLs the most. Bob
