Yes, I know that it's up to mail receivers (and not my provider) to 
decide whether to reject email based on SpamCop, but it's also somewhat
my provider's fault that they don't have an effective response when
the bad actions of one of their clients causes all of them to be
blacklisted.

(BTW, SpamCop doesn't create its blacklist based on human reporting --
it uses automated "spam traps" to detect spam and decide when to
list a sending host.)
