Only half right. Yes, SpamCop assignes a unique address (@spamcop.net)
for each report. But all replies to that address are HELD and are NOT
forwarded to the original complainer. Rather, SpamCop sends a response
to the replier saying they must take additional action to release the
email to the recipient -- which can be as simple as clicking on the
link.
This system was put in place several months ago to screen out the
numerous auto-acks which result from reporting. Perhaps you are
familiar with the previous system, which indeed operated as you
describe.
