Richard,
Last I checked, SpamCop was tagging about 50% of all of my spam, and
while it certainly isn't perfect, it doesn't tag IP's that are perfectly
clean. It is somewhat doubtful that one could remove SpamCop and not
see more spam leakage. As a Declude user, I think that you might want
to consider changing the weight that you apply to SpamCop instead, and
make sure that you aren't automatically taking action on just that
single hit.
Personally I have few problems with SpamCop, and when they occur, they
are almost always with bulk E-mail. Since I weight it low enough and it
takes multiple false positives to result in blocking a legitimate
personal E-mail on my system, hits from SpamCop on places like Gmail,
AOL, etc. go almost completely unnoticed. The bulk E-mail is a
different story though because many places have false positive issues
with such traffic and varying definitions of spam, but people rarely
complain about missing something like an Overstock.com ad if they do get
blocked.

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] spamcop
gmail has many outbound servers - chances are one of the messages
went via a server listed in spamcop. Spamcop these days has been
proving to be less and less reliable - I can't tell you how often
AOL, Earthlink, Gmail, Attbi, and other big ISP's get listed...

I just sent myself 4 messages all the same from my gmail to my
ethixs.com account and 3 came thru and one got caught in the filter
because of spamcop? 3 of the messages had a weight of 0 and the one
that was caught had a weight of 33....does this make any sense...all
the messages were the same except I put test 1, test 2, test 3 and
test 4 in the subject.. Richard Farris
