Found in a Nov. 1 posting to the SpamCop discussion list: SpamCop now implements "pre-emptive" blocking of hosts. This is based on non-SUBE points (mail volume) alone, and is not related to complaints. If a host has no mail volume within the past 7 days except for a 1 day or less period where it does show volume, it will be listed. For example, a host which has no more than 24 hours history for sending mail will be listed under the assumption that it is most likely a new source of spam (since the great majority of new sources of email are sources of spam). After 24 hours, we hope that users will have had a chance to report spam from the new host - or not. If they do, then the other rules will list the host. If they don't (and the host keeps sending mail), then it will drop off the blacklist.
Follow-ups have already raised issues such as "What if an ISP brings a new mail server on line?"
