The lists.mysql.com server appears to have been dropped from SpamCop's
blocking list. Here's what SpamCop has to say about this blocking list:

  This blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used in
  a production environment where legitimate email must be delivered. It
  is growing more stable and is used by many large sites now. However,
  SpamCop is aggressive and often errs on the side of blocking mail -
  users should be warned and given information about how their mail is
  filtered. Ideally they should have a choice of filtering options. Many
  mailservers can operate with blacklists in a "tag only" mode, which is
  preferable in many situations.

Given the policies of this blocking list, I would not recommend it to
anyone, especially as a single criteria for rejecting mail. It appears
trivial for any of SpamCop's users to get any host blacklisted, without
any notification to that host.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
