No. Spam is spam. Just because it comes from a major ISP does not lessen that fact. If a major email provider or ISP is a source of spam then they should be listed. > > Spamcop users are idiots too.

We've had similar issues in the past, but user education can help mitigate this.

It's not spamcop's fault that $user doesn't read their usage policy or listen to you >> >> I've had a rash of FP's in the last few days from hotmail users whose >> servers are listed at Spamcop.net.

Maybe your threshold is too low or your spamcop score is too high?
