I gave Julian's beta system a try and from what I read my spamcop account should have been automatically taken into account. Therefore the only account I entered when prompted was the mail account provided to me by my ISP.
After receiving instructions from the "SpamCop robot" and following them, I received the following reply/error:

As one might have surmised I am using SBC Yahoo DSL for internet access. SBC Yahoo DSL users exist with quite a variety of e-mail domains, mine happens to be "ameritech.net" If it is relevant to Julian's configuration the list of all e-mail domains possible (as far as I know) for SBC Yahoo DSL users is:
QUOTE
ameritech.net
flash.net
nvbell.net
pacbell.net
prodigy.net
sbcglobal.net
snet.net
swbell.net
wans.net
flash.net
nvbell.net
pacbell.net
prodigy.net
sbcglobal.net
snet.net
swbell.net
wans.net
I have no email address with a yahoo domain, only the one with the ameritech domain which I do not use, but forward to my spamcop account anyways. The message I received back from the bot above asked me to go back and configure remaining mailhosts. If I need to configure a yahoo host let me know, but I have no corresponding yahoo email address to accompany it.
If I did something wrong please advise.
Thanks,
PeterJ
EDIT March 18 below:
I was a bit tired when I posted...today I actually clicked on the link provided in the recieved error message and this took me to the "SpamCop - MailHost problem resolver" site and subsequently to the "SpamCop - Request mailhost waiver" page, where the final response was:
QUOTE
Wiaver request sent. You will be notified when waiver has been granted
So, it looks like I am on track, just need to wait. Like WB8TYW mentioned, a manual override process I gather.
