	SpamCop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SpamCop uses these reports from its volunteers to compile a DNS block list of computers sending spam called the "SCBL" and websites referenced in the spam are used to create the SURBL RHSBL.
		Spamcop requires each report to be manually verified that it is spam and that the destination of the spam reports.
		SpamCop has dealt with attacks by spammers thus far by hiring services from Akamai, but is still the target of many hackers and could face serious difficulties like those faced by Blue Security if it continues to grow in size and effectiveness.

	SpamcopIsHarmful - FastMailWiki
		SpamCop BL is a system that is widely used by email providers for blocking email which may be spam.
		SpamCop BL advises on their home page that production sites should not use the service - email providers that ignore this advice are causing problems for their own customers, while wasting the time of mail abuse departments that would be better spent fighting spammers.
		SpamCop then analyses the email, works out the likely true sender of the email, looks in the body to find any advertised email addresses or web sites, and then emails the administrators of all the systems involved to let them know about the problem.

	SpamCop False Reports
		Spamcop misidentified it as originating from Nyx and when 26 came through this source, they listed anubis.nyx.net automatically as a open relay without checking whether it was an open relay.
		Spamcop insists that this is the fault of the reporter.
		The purpose here is to inform people that SpamCop harasses or allows its system to be used to harass innocent parties and that due to the number of false reports that come from SpamCop it is not a reliable source of data upon which to base spam filtering.

	SpamCop Report Considerations - CastleCopsWiki
		SpamCop has implemented a very generous limit of 3,000 emails that may be submitted for parsing by a single account in a 24 hour period.
		That’s so Spamcop won’t report spam to them by mistake, since their addresses are in the header of spam received.
		SpamCop will process it and submit your report and send you a message confirming the spam you sent was reported.

	OptInRealBig Denied Injunction in Case Against SpamCop
		The judge denied OptIn's request because she said SpamCop, which sends copies of complaints about spam to ISPs, did not alter the content of the messages it sent and hence is immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act (CDA).
		She said two of SpamCop's four requests were too broad and vague for a preliminary injunction.
		The judge said SpamCop failed to prove interference with contractual relations because it did not demonstrate that sending the reports to ISPs is wrongful by some legal measure.

	How To Automate Spamcop Submissions \| HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
		Spamcop is a service which provides RBLs for mailservers in order to reject incoming mail from spammers.
		In the unaltered version you tell spamcop to send a mail to every entry found in the headers, while the altered version uses the recommendations by spamcop (this is probably the safer method).
		Spamcop provides for a special email address associated with your account that allows you to "forward" the spam, and automatically report it.

	gmane.mail.spam.spamcop.announce
		SpamCop uses Akamai's distributed network to insulate against such attacks, and I've not noted any performance problems due to this attack.
		Paid users with SpamCop mail accounts can access it by logging into the webmail system, going to "Options", selecting "SpamCop Tools", and selecting "Select your email filtering fllists." I would also like to clarify that I was not suggested that SpamAssassin in any way replace SpamCop, or make it less effective.
		On the contrary,I was suggesting that people use SpamAssassin (or many of the other similar filtering products that people sent me emails about) in order to enhance their spam-fighting experience (by filtering out junk from your mailbox, it allows you to deal with legitimate mail now, and spam when it's convienient for you).

	News » Spamcop Security Breach - Customer information briefly exposed
		Several users of SpamCop have been informing us they've been notified by e-mail that their e-mail addresses were briefly vulnerable due to a security breach.
		Spamcop is probably one of the top targets for crackers and the spammers and criminals who are sponsoring them, because it is a thorn in their side.
		Spamcop allows me to use a layered approach to spam management, where if I am on the road and with only a modem connection I can still cope with the 400+ spams/day without having to download them first.

	SpamCop - FastMailWiki
		SpamCop is a spam reporting, notification, and blocking service.
		SpamCop is almost universally praised by folks with credibility, except for the SCBL component, basically because it is sensitive and widely used, and hence tends to briefly list responsibly administered IPs, resulting in false positives.

	Why the SpamCop blocking list is harmful
		Spamcop no longer provide the detail of spam and non-spam reports and their scores, so the process is now even less transparent than when I first wrote this.
		However, using Spamcop BL as part of a score - for instance using SpamAssassin - and allowing your users the option to filter using this score, is a very effective technique
		Email providers that use the Spamcop BL should be aware that the basis of listings in the blocking list is not the same as the criteria made publicly available.

		As we noted, SpamCop is a free service, but the company also supplies a fee-based service that filters your e-mail for you.

	SpamCopper - Easily report spam to SpamCop - MozillaZine Forums
		Be sure to properly configure your mailhosts in your SpamCop account so it knows which headers come from your valid mail servers, and can more easily see the spam source (and not get your ISP fllisted).
		It's trying to pull the string to display in the dialog asking for your SpamCop ID in the first one, and the label for that box in the Options window.
		Spamcop will not do anything with spam that is not "fresh", so it would be nice to ignore/delete this older spam messages instead of going through the reporting process for no reason.

	Spamex listed in Spamcop.net RBL
		Spamcop has also been fairly responsive whenever it has resulted in a fllisting, so while annoying it has been manageable.
		Well, nothing actually, except that Spamcop has a policy of listing a broader range of IP addresses than those actually in use by the reported party as a way of trying to apply pressure to the ISP to deal with the Spammer.
		We figured that this would be easy to resolve by requesting that Spamcop whitelist our servers (not that we should have had to ask for whitelisting since we were not involved in the first place) so we contacted spamcop.net the morning that we became aware of the problem and received no response.
