Does spamcop really work?

Does reporting spam to spamcop really do anything? do they actually get people shut down?

Cheers

We have a double-optin list and get 2-3 spamcop complaints which result in blacklisting every time we mail it. Its complete BS since we have IP and timestamp of double opt-in, and usually a lot more info than that.

Just thank god SPEWS is gone.
Spamcop isn't so bad. I used to work with them sometimes.

But calling spews and dealing with them was like eating your own dick to stay alive while it is attached to your body.

You've never given your email address to anyone? Highly unlikely. Almost all sites that ask for your email address have something in the terms or privacy policy saying they can do whatever the hell they want with your email address. You give it to them you opted in.

You wiil find that about 50-60% people on GFY are spammers, or profit directly or indirectly from spam or spam related activites or support. They all hate SPAMCOP and bitch about it constantly. That should tell you something.

The all have quadruple, double scrubbed , opt in lists and are ALL wrongly persecuted ,and abused by SPAMCOP, SPEWS, and Spamhaus. I have personally been spammed by several indviduals here touting their "clean" lists.

What you will usually find, when you start dig , is hundreds of spam complaints, from different sources, that contradict the claims of innocence. These sleazeballs are found on multiple blocklists, and their turdlets fill spamtraps set up to catch them.

Do a little research, and you'll determine the truth. You WON'T find it on GFY.

And to all the clueless who celebrated the deaths of SPEWS..... Well guess again. The criminal DDOS attacks didn't work. Try http://spews.org/ to find your personal listing. Also except to see some criminal prosecutions for all the DDOS attacks on the various blacklists that have been going on lately.

The pathetic little spammers tried to shut down all the major blacklists recently via a bogus lawsuit. Read the wired article to see how miserably they failed....

The strict California anti-spam law is about to kick in. Things are going to get interesting in the next few months....
