Generally, I have found the Spam Cop blocking list to be much too aggressive for being useable as a filter for an ISP. They classify spam sources by the amount of legitimate mail they receive compared to the amount of spam they receive. Naturally, an english language organisation does not receive much legitimate e-mail from Germany, so they have found to frequently list t-online, gmx and web.de, the three largest e-mail providers for the german speaking countries, all three of them being pure white head when it comes to spam fighting. I wouldn't even use the Spam Cop blocking list for generating RBL-Warning-Headers. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
