Spamcop reporting? Anon or register?

[Michael Scheidell <sc...@secnap.net>]

According to SA documentation, not registering with spamcop will lessen
the 'weight' of your report to spamcop when you use the manual report
spam features of spamcop.

spamcop_to_address add@ress.com (default: generic reporting address)
    Your customized SpamCop report submission address. You need to
obtain this address by registering at http://www.spamcop.net/. If this
is not set, SpamCop reports will go to a generic reporting address for
SpamAssassin users and your reports will probably have less weight in
the SpamCop system.

pamCop.html

Does anyone know if spamcop does anything with 'anon' spamassassin
reports?

Yes, the anonymous reports are used, but may have less effect
than the registered reports.

I have no idea.

Anyway I suggest you registering and sending notifications to
responsible netmasters/webmasters.

You may use spamcup or http://anfi.homeunix.net/perl/spamcop-ack.pl to
automatically acknowledge spamcop.net reports submitted by 
"spamassassin -r" via SMTP.
