Spamcop.net RBL blocking emails by mistake?

[James L. Day]

Excuse me, but why would a secret e-mail address at a spamtrap send a
message to an auto-responder?  It wouldn't be secret for very long if it
were sending out e-mail messages...

When you say "That seems to be what has happened to us" are you
admitting there's actually something you don't know?
