Or maybe people who use SpamCop's "blacklist" to *reject* email need
to get a clue? Spamcop *themselves* say you shouldn't do that.
Spamcop's "blacklist" is not a blacklist, it's a "possible-list",
it's meant to be used as input to spam-classification mechanisms
(e.g. a bayes filter) or to tag mail so the human can decide. Spamcop
*will* list perfectly legitimate hosts, all the time. Just
*submitting* spam to SpamCop may potentially get your own ISP
blacklisted (particularly if your ISP use MTA clustering techniques,
e.g. mailbag at Netsource).
Anyone who uses Spamcop to directly reject email is demonstrably
clueless of what Spamcop is about.
