Is is just me, or has SpamCop become useless? Two weeks ago, they

Someone (call them A) signs up to a FreeBSD mailing list.
Someone else (call them B) sends spam to the same FreeBSD mailing
list. The mailing list fails to recognise this as spam, and
forwards it on to everyone else.
"A"'s system decides that the message is spam (either
automatically, or with human involvement). "A" hasn't realised
that the message came through the list, and reports it to SpamCop.
SpamCop lists FreeBSD.org servers as the source of the spam.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
I do understand the mechanics of how Spamcop aquired the listing, but
they had managed to avoid bogus listings much better in the past.
Whether the submitters have gotten worse or SpamCops filtering of
submissions I don't know.
