Julian, After taking spamcop.net out of "Spam List =", my syslogs "Message... to colby.edu is " with the blank ending ceased. I dug thru the perl and it looks like $rblspamheader must not get set at either line 475 or 498 in Message.pm. So is something going wrong in MailScanner::RBLs::Checks with spamcop?
