They help keep *good* ISPs clean. Bad ISPs care very little. I assume I receive <1% of received spam from good ISPs. It is not a bad idea to post copies of spamcop.net submitted spam (after munging) to NANAS with spamcop.net report link. It will remove option to abuse "if we only knew" excuse. BTW Are there any plans to include some more spamcop.net helpers into spamassassin distrubution? SpamAssassin can report spam to spamcop.net via SMTP but "after report" acknowlegment is required. It is possible to automate also the second stage (acknowlegment) with an option to post NANAS report. Is somebody interested in testing the tools?
