I must say that I strongly support Spamcop. Unlike some of the other "block lists" that are run by unknown and possibly shady people with unknown motives, Spamcop's owner is open and accessable, and is an overall nice guy. Spamcop's policies are also clearly available, and the whole process is very transparent and public. I like this... just like opensource (not literally... more morally). Spamcop is the only spam prevention system we can use as a company, because many of those other blocklists include Asian mail servers (abused by USA spammers 99.999% of the time... but that is another issue). We do a lot of business in Asia and cannot afford those "Asia-wide" blocks that many of the lists are now including. We ourselves would probably be included in the "Asian" block because we're in Asia too (blocking ourselves... interesting thought). Spamcop only blocks emails if spam is actually received from a place/server. It doesn't "pre-block" everything even if no spam comes from it. As an Webhosting/Dedicated Server/Colo provider, after careful consideration we decided that we cannot afford to block legit email (even if only a few business emails get blocked, thats not acceptable to us). You probably would come to the same consideration if you're a business. Personal sites can probably use any list they want because a few missing emails won't cause any drama. We're willing to accept a couple of spams getting through, rather than lose some legit email. Anyway, just wanted to say that, especially after the closure of Orbz and people looking for an alternative. I don't work for Spamcop, I get nothing from telling you the above.
