SpamCop

Overview
SpamCop can have a significant impact on B2B email campaigns. However it is not widely used by major North American ISPs to inform blocking decisions.
How it works
SpamCop lists IPs for one of two reasons:
- Email was delivered to a SpamCop spam trap address (most of SpamCop’s spam traps are previously valid addresses that have not been active for 12 months or longer); or
- A SpamCop user has reported the email unwanted
Remediation
SpamCop is a dynamic blocklist so listings will typically resolve themselves within one business day. There is no manual delisting option with SpamCop. If your email activity triggered a SpamCop listing it likely means that you have a list management problem that should be addressed.
