Geez, I know only too well how Spamcop can be over-zealous. I do tech support 
and server management for a webhosting company (Castlecore - 
www.castlecore.com). Turns out one of our customers has a forum on their 
website, which isn't too unusual. The problem was that someone got a 
registration email from the forum, then reported it to Spamcop as spam. Bang! 
Our main mailserver goes straight onto Spamcop's DNSBL.

There's a reason I only use the Spamhaus SBL+XBL, and I use it in addition to 
whitelisting (mailing list traffic sometimes trips the DNSBL for some reason).

Some days (OK, most days) I wish the world's spammer population would become 
victims of spontaneous human combustion. And the same to the nutters who leave 
their unsecured Windows boxen online 24/7 without an antivirus or an active 
firewall...
