I'm not a deputy, but I interpret those words as meaning that the provider
has indicated to spamcop that they don't want any (more) report notifies
on the issue - for whatever reason, not necessarily that 'spam will
cease'.

In this case the issue is a spamsource.  Reporter reports of spamsource,
whether they are notified to the source provider or not are still counted
toward the SCbl, which is what really matters.  Regardless of whether the
provider hears about it or not, the spam 'report' is counted.

To me, the only notifies worth sending are the ones which the provider
wants.  I don't believe in notifying providers who don't want a report and
SC's system doesn't believe in that either.  SC permits any provider to
stop any or all notifies -- those about source, those about spamvertiser,
those about relays, or all reports.

administrators : - SpamCop now features a way to refuse or accept each
type of report individually.  - report selection preferences.
