Hi:

The SpamCop blurb states:

This blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used in a
production environment where legitimate email must be delivered

I get piles of spam, but have never used a spam filter - I don't want to
risk getting legitimate email blocked.

I've asked our support people to look into why spamcop would be blocking
us.
