Hello,
I have had to remove spamcop from my rbl check list. they have had some
legitimate mail servers listed recently. They had the gentoo mail list
listed and some other important servers which i cant see why they were
added.
Regards ..
Leonard

So simply by having users use 'vacation' or viruses/worms

By having users use vacation without a filter to stop it from replying to
spam, or accepting virus mail then generating a new error, you are engaged
in a DDOS against the people who's address is forged into the mail. We
have
users getting 3-6 THOUSAND such bounces a day.
So yes, I'm glad SpamCop is blocking sites that do this.
