I am a new to spamcop. But over the last few days I haven't been reliably receiving emails. I have my email forwarding to my Spamcop.net account then then I have it forwarded back to my Email Shadow account. It is taking forever to get mail through. I have been sending some test messages and if I send directly to my shadow account I receive them instantly. If I send to my forwarded account or my Spamcop account it can take anywhere from 30minutes to a few hours or longer to reach me.
I have temporarily stopped forwarding until I see a better processing time.
Any ideas as to the slow down. I didn't notice this til yesterday. But it might have also occurred last week.
Thanks,

I have had this problem also, and was answered some time ago, but I have worked around it rather than make the changes suggested as I didn't want to risk screwing things up somehow.
I have Spamcop GET my mail from my main email server account, then forward it to another account that I pick up from the server.
I believe that I can have my server FORWARD my mail to spamcop instead, but I'm not sure how to do that and haven't wanted to mess with it.
In any case, email sent to my main account does not appear in my other account for anywhere from several minutes to an hour sometimes. I believe it is because spamcop does not check my mail account very frequently, and then has additional delay before forwarding. I suppose there are good reasons for this.
In my case I work around by having urgent mail sent to an unfiltered account that doesn't get more than a few random spams.
