Further, Spamcop should implement some form of check to verify that the e-mail is in fact spam before they go pointing the finger and/or blocking mail servers. The problem of end users leveraging Spamcop to get them off of mailing lists or a simple way of DoSsing a discussion forum would become mute if some form of sanity checking was in place.
As an ex-admin, I have some "serious issues" about the way Spamcop works, but this argument is similar to one that says a credit reporting company has to prove that you are a deadbeat before reporting that several companies you do business with report that you are late with payments a lot. And as an ex-admin that had some contact with mailing lists and their operation and managment I will say that the notion that people "forgot" that they subscribed to a list does not happen nearly as often as it is used to wriggle out from under a spam complaint. -- Requiescas in pace o email Ex turpi causa non oritur actio http://members.cox.net/larrysheldon/
