SpamCop is a comprehensive service offering something for everyone in the fight against spam. In this case, COP stands for Citizen On Patrol. SpamCop Reporters patrol their mailboxes and report the spam inside. SpamCop has the following component Services and Systems:

• Parsing & Reporting Service
• Blocking List Service (SCBL)
• Filtered E-mail Account
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) www.spamcop.net hyperlinked (Original)

• Forum Portal Page (under work due to recent upgrade
• Glossary
• Newsgroup Archive information
• Newsgroup Server (NNTP)
• Portal Page entrance to the whole thing! (see above note: upgrade in progress)

An alternative view suggests the following analogy;

SpamCop works exactly like the credit reporting agencies, and since most people understand how that works;

• SpamCop == Credit Reporting Agency
• SpamCop Users == Various Financial Entities that report credit info
• ISP using SpamCop to handle incoming email == Dealership using credit report information to decide whether or not to give you the car loan
