spamcop has a FAQ about spam that allegedly originates from their
servers.  As usual, it's forged headers.

OTOH, I stopped using spamcop a while ago because of the shady
business deals the owner made (and never adequately justified) with
cyveillance.com, a known net abuser and all-round suspicious company.

I'm just not thrilled to have all my reported emails forwarded on to a
dodgy company that uses them to conduct "market research" and sells
unspecified derived information to customers.
