Looks like they're blocking mx2, 69.147.83.53.  That's the new address 
since Friday. It says "Spamcop users have reported system as a source of 
spam less than 10 times in the last week."

I've heard that Spamcop has a pretty high false positive rate, higher 
than some other DNSBLs that have a reputation for it, but I haven't used 
the Spamcop DNSBL.  Just looking this up and comparing a few other 
things, it doesn't look like much.

The old addresses for mx1 and mx2 were in my access.db with "OK" codes 
for a long time, so now seems to be a good time to add the new 
addresses, 69.147.83.52 and .53.
