Please do not use spamcop to block email

[Bo Briggs]

I received this, and

Reason: Service unavailable; Client host [205.152.59.64] blocked using bl.spamcop.net; Blocked - see http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?205.152.59.64

this is the bellsouth.net mail server.

I respect the rdnsbl's, but please use spamcop as a filter, use cbl.abuseat.org if you want accurate results. Anyone can place an IP on a blacklist with a couple of reports to spamcop, and as I remember, it takes 24 hours before the block is in place.

I've run a few mail servers before, and I do use the rdnsbl's, but spamcop is only used as a filter.

Please reconsider using this as an absolute block.
