They have no real checking method, it's like AOL's spam blocking method...they just let users submit what they think is spam and then block it. It's pointless. There's not even a way to contact anyone at SpamCop to fix a falsely listed server or what not. They are a joke.

I use the SpamHaus RBL as a first line of defense then I use SpamAssassin to catch the rest of the spam coming to my server. Am I wasting my time? Should I just delete low-scoring spam and let the honeypots harvest and report to the various RBLs, or should I keep reporting spam via SpamCop (which wastes a lot of my time). In my experience, SpamCop is a colossal waste of _everything_ it uses.  Time, space, energy, matter, etc. But that's just "in my experience".  YMMV. Well I use Spamcop as one of my RBLs and it has been fantastic, absolutely no false positives. When I have time I also take the time to report spam that gets through the RBL and Spamassassin checks. No problems here. -- Gino Cerullo Pixel Point Studios 21 Chesham Drive Toronto, ON  M3M 1W6 T: 416-247-7740 F: 416-247-7503
