I'm not sure if everyone has heard, but IronPort bought SpamCop. It's likely that they're fiddling with it. There's an article on Slashdot from Wednesday about it.

Specifically I've seen IP addresses for NYTIMES.COM, MICROSOFT.COM and MACROMEDIA.COM and a few others. Does anyone think it's possible that SPAMCOP's databases are being gamed by Spammers by submitting lots of e-mails with legit IP addresses and pretend that they came across as spam? Or maybe there are uninformed SPAMCOP users who are submitting legit e-mail to SPAMCOP as representative of spam? Or even that IronPort's purchase of SPAMCOP has somehow affected the way that they do things? Just curious. These legit IPs showing up on SPAMCOP are really throwing lots of False Positives in my weighting system.
