Its good for users at the client-side to use either the ISP recomeneded
or their own choice of spam blocking list service or software to use on their
own PC's
as a precaution against any residual spam that may leak through the ISP
server farms. Its good to keep in mind that SpamCop or any other spam blocking
list
service or software isn't always 100% effective in blocking spam.

The fact remains, big ISPs (like AOL) all use spam blocking lists,
such as the one provided by SpamCop. If they didn't, their
customers would be overwhelmed with spam.
