This is getting a bit off-topic, but just to clarify this: As far as I
know SpamCop uses unique IDs as From-addresses when complaining about a
spam. All replies to that unique address are then forwarded to the
original complainer. So I don't think they did more than just sending
an automated reply (I don't remember if I got an automated reply as
response to that spam because there are too many to keep track
off...).
