Mailwasher,

            www.mailwasher.com

which I recommended recently, uses Spam Cop as a sourcefor blacklisted
senders.
In my experience so far (about 1 week+) it is working VERY well. Almost all
blacklists are true SPAM - a very few are legitimate messages - presumably
they have had people in the same domain sending spam. This is a spamcop id
problem.

Even for those it misses, having the email subject lines available (and text
without pictures if needed) has almost completely eliminated the downloading
of pornographic spam which I have previously been getting much of. This is
especially useful as the images often download when you preview the message
and this can be used to give the sender a confirmation that your address is
a "live" one. With mail washer they do not get this confirmationm.
