Bounce messages - a warning

[Julian Field]

I never use spamcop at all. Loads of people have reported that they will
happily add any mail server listed in the headers of a message sent to
them, whether the relaying was on their host or not. And it's very
difficult to get off their list as well. It's one of the less useful lists.
