0) The described procedure is fully sufficient for automatic
   confirmation of reports about SMTP spam sources and relays. 
1) It leaves "reasonable doubts" if it is good for automatic
   confirmation of  spamvertized URLs (by non spamassassin scripts) 
   as suggested by spamcop.net "report page" *after* via SMTP submission
   by "spamassassin -r" without further *human* inspection.  

   It is common for 419 spam to include links to innocent web site with
   "crash story" (typically cnn.com and bbc.co.uk).
2) I am ready to modify my spamcop-ack.pl script to exclude "www" and
   "i-www" reports from *automatic* confirmation. 
   Is somebody interested?

P.S.
Every spam received constitutes perfect solicitation for abuse report.
Help good nets stay clean, take away "if we only knew" excuse.
