Yes, i agree. However, in this particular application, which is a small user group, this does not matter...
I have not had any complaints about it yet, and as most of the complaints we have had about spamcop on our Client servers, (We're looking at 5 million email as day over a cluster...) have been from either dialups, (That should nto be sending directly anyway...) or people that HAVE been spamming, I find it still very effective, as an entry won't last more than 24 hours. One particular client that complained to us, actually had spammed me on one of our role accounts, and he has the audacity to complain that we are blocking him, so I have now blacklisted all of his servers on our incoming mail servers, pending a formal apology. Nothing so far, and the account manager has not come back to me yet... Spamcop as far as I know will only add an entry if 3 or more complaints have been received about a specific IP. Not sure about this, maybe someone can shed some light on the exact workings? But yes, your point is valid, so anyone using it, please heed this warning.
