If you actually read your spamcop report, why did you not click the URL, the one you posted yourself? You could easily set the site mentioned, as an innocent bystander? (suggest you go to this link and you will see how SpamCop is trying to help you) It is not SpamCop's policy to report every site but will at the "Human decision maker's" request do so? if you look at the address in the SpamCop URL, (you have posted above) *********@reports.spamcop.net as a letter to reply to, you can ask them yourself why it was felt that the site mentioned was felt to be spamming If you wish to or write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and if you have a case, the user will be fined ($$) and or banned from using SpamCop The site may be being "Joe jobbed" If so SpamCop can be used by an abuse desk to reduce the flak by YOU and abuse desk learning how to. This which involves going to the site you cared to post the URL about? If you did this you may find SpamCop is a friendly tool which can aid you, not hinder Petzl [Nothing official, just another SpamCop user] These messages are only the opinion of the poster,are no substitute for your own research _______________________________________________ SpamCop-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.spamcop.net/mailman/listinfo/spamcop-help
