Spamcop reporting

[Thomas Zehetbauer <th...@hostmaster.org>]

Hi,

I have just started reporting spam and I wonder if SpamCop really
expects it's users to confirm every submission in the web interface?

Yes.  It ensures that most people are actually reporting spam.  Doesn't take 
that long really.

Yes, they do.  This is to ensure a minimum of false positives.  By 
default, I only report things that do NOT hit my usual scores (i.e. I 
report false negatives).

You can report anonymously, but they tend to count less (although they are 
counted, ISPs do not get a detailed writeup of the incident as they get 
with a "full" report), the ISP just gets a "summary note" on a daily basis 
that says how many spams are coming from them.
