Hi, joshw,

...Addresses such as postmaster#prtc.net[at]devnull.spamcop.net mean that SpamCop did not actually send the report. There are different reasons why this might happen, such as that the abuse desk requested that reports no longer be sent or that such reports were not being delivered.

And taking a peek at http://www.senderbase.org/senderbase_queri...lephone+Company (scroll down) and the endless list of IP addresses there with pink (RBL) listings it is easy to imagine that reports would be a waste of time. Their Gerente de Redes evidently has more important functions than that of controlling "spam". Or perhaps (s)he is still working through the Brad Templeton Essays on spam

Why am I sending a Report to SpamCop?
