Check out http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml and plug in the MX IP addresses in there to see why they're listed, anybody on nntp://news.spamcop.net/spamcop is going to expect you to have already done this and will point this out if you ask why. (Same with http://www.spamcop.net/reported.shtml if you post asking about getting delisted. Short answer: Nobody is going to delist you, however, you will get delisted automatically based on a massively complex algorythm that keeps you listed longer each time another spam is detected. It also takes a few reports by different people before the BL lists someone, one accidental report will not get you listed. > However, it doesn't seem to catch much Korean/China spam...
