SpamAssassin reporting to Spamcop

[Codger <li...@pmbx.net>]

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this on the SpamCop site.

Should submission there NOT contain any SA alterations (rewritten 
headers, etc)?

If that is the case is there a perl or other script that can undo the 
rewriting on a per account basis (I'm using CGPro) so that I can 
contribute more spam to Spamcop and improve the SURBL effectiveness?

I wouldn't think it would matter.. I've been contributing to SC for a year 
or more using the full headers, including SA's headers...

Well, definitely remove it if you use report_safe mode.  I don't know
if they deal with it properly, so let's not confuse their parser. ;)

I don't think they care about the headers at all.  I remove them 1)
for less identifying information (why let spammers know what rules they
hit?) and 2) it's more "correct" to report the mail you got, not the
mail you have now.

I don't know what you mean by "per account basis", but I'd look
at something like handlespam(*) or writing something to go through
"spamassassin -d".
