Have you every tried forwarding some of their own spam to them? > How did they react? spamcop has a FAQ about spam that allegedly originates from their servers. As usual, it's forged headers.

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.
