That's not strictly true.  SpamCop sends reports to domains whose URLs are
mentioned in spam, if the spam-submitter asks SpamCop to do so.

The Tao of SpamAssassin would seem to indicate that you assign them to one 
or more separate rules, and actually run the GA to give them a score based
on their likelyhood of appearing in spam, rather than including them in
a ruleset that is given a blanket fixed score of 3.0.
