Sorry about the top posting... and thanks for letting me know.  I think 
you put too much faith in the users, especially free users, of SpamCop. 
  If you've ever sent yourself a 'user notification' report, you'll see 
the meriad of mis-routed and reported email.  So, either users are 
sending reports they shouldn't, OR the people that respond to that page 
are all lying.  Sure, 1 report should suffice, but if you start 
receiving several reports, then you know that the IP in question is 
actively being abused.
