If I recall correctly, SpamCop blackmails people by asking them to pay to have their address removed.
Nope. That'd be SORBS. I quote "SORBS Support (Dan)":
Occassional spam is going to happen. And ISP's that take action on spam are quickly delisted. Almost nobody pays the $50 fine to charity. That is rare.
They amount to nothing more than hypocrits and liars.
To summarize the entire exchange, it takes on ONE (1) message, EVER to find yourself listed in their spamtrap senders crap. There is no expiration or automatic deletion; if you don't beg to be removed, it'll sit there until the end of time. (BTW, it only takes *a* message to a spamtrap address; it doesn't have to be spam, anything and everything counts.)
(They may have changed the process in the last 6 months, but I wouldn't count on it.)
