Bear in mind that we're not done tuning SURBL's use of our
SpamCop data yet.  Right now it is pretty conservative to prevent
FPs.  We have some strategies in the next version of the engine
which should increase the hit rate without much increase in FPs:

'After watching the data for a while I think a longer general
retention of say 10 days might be a good idea to catch reports
over more than a week.  For known spam gang domains/name
servers/IPs we could make the retention a whole lot longer.
And domains that get dozens to hundreds of reports should
probably also be watched a lot longer using a longer retention.
Domains that get reported most probably deserve the most
attention through longer retention and perhaps a lower
inclusion threshold.

We would get external "known bad guys" data from (SBL) in
order to adjust thresholds and expirations, but the inclusion of
a domain in SURBL would still be triggered by SpamCop URI
reports.  But the trigger point would be lower for "bad guys".'
