Could you elaborate on this? Who shouts at you if you send things to Spamcop?
Oh .. lets see .. there's most ISPs in the UK.. been through a few shouting matches with them.. then there's Oxford and Cambridge Universities.. and many UK businesses who all hate Spam Cop and what it represents. Then there's a whole load more who I can't mention on this list. I've been threatened in the street before now. Incidentally, since I sent mail into this list the other day the level of spam to myself has increased by a factor of four. I'm getting great big piles of it now.
If you go it alone then you are very likely to spend more effort fighting it off than you would if you just deleted the stuff.
Personally I don't see an argument in either direction :) But, I am amazed that a free community project which exists to help and educate interested people attracts so many thugs. -- Thanks Richard www.sheflug.co.uk
