If you need more information, http://spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/75.html
is a starting point which should answer most questions.
The reports you are receiving will contain a link to the ISP reporting
page at SpamCop. That page has several links, including one which will
show how and why the reports are being sent to you. The report will
also include a copy of the original email being complained about.
Each report comes from a different user. It is not a single person
sending you a bunch of complaints, so the number of reports you receive
will tell you how widespread the mailing was. Using the SpamCop links
and the email itself, you should be able to determine what is going
on... is it a case of spamming, or is it a joe-job.
Whatever the case, you can stop further reports from SpamCop using the
links on the ISP response page. You can declare "action taken" or mark
the site as an innocent bystander of a joe-job. You can also enter
remarks that will come up whenever anyone looks up the URL, which could
prevent appeals or manual reports.
>From your description, it appears people have received email directing
them to your customer's site. These people did not solicit the mail and
are simply sending you a complaint. They do not know your customer may
be an innocent bystander, just as the user was when they received the
email. It is not SpamCop's fault, it is not the SpamCop user's fault,
and it may not be your customer's fault either. But, SpamCop does give
you the tools and the ability to stop the complaints and perhaps stop
some manual complaints from coming your way as well.
