For SpamAssassin, however it's useful as another somewhat reliable indicator of spammyness to increment the scores a bit, just like SORBLs or SPEWS, which would otherwise be largely unusable for outright blocking in an MTA for most people. SpamCop's bl gets IPs that users report. There's some filtering and munging, but it's either less than one would like or more than one would like, depending on one's perspective. IOW some SpamCop user (unwisely) reported a gentoo mailing list message as spam, and that's why it got onto the blacklist: user error.
