I only insulted Spamcop admins because they are idiots. Actually, I don't even really consider it an insult. I consider an insult an untrue statement meant to hurt someone's feelings. Since this is a true statement, and I don't care about their feelings... well it is just a statement of fact. If they had better accuracy standards for their service maybe it would be a 'better society'. > spam was sent from a mail server inside our network.

So, I guess you are saying that you needed help locking down your email servers and they helped you. That is good, but they promote themselves to be a spam blocking service, not a free service to admins who don't know how to lock down their servers. I am happy they were able to help you. Maybe they are good for something. I should start referring new admins to them for free support services.
