To expand on Spambo's answer, if you received a report, or alert, it
would contain a copy of the spam message reported to spamcop as coming
from one of those IP addresses.

You might not receive reports if email has been sent to spam traps.
Generally when someone who has a strong anti-spam policy gets listed,
it is because of spammers taking advantage of some vulnerability - an
open proxy, a trojanized machine, a SMTP/AUTH exploit - or because of
auto replies to viruses that are sent to the forged spamtrap address.
