Some of these places want you to go through too much trouble, you have to 
find the page, read the instructions, then do it their way which is often 
copy-paste bologna. Or some like to bounce your reports because they 
contain a spamvertised URL (hey, that's what we are trying to prevent).
But I've sent user reports via Spamcop to spoof at paypal.com, and I don't see 
a problem with that. It's not reporting the URL, but the eMail as a spoof. 
I've done a CC to them, but it's usually easier to use Spamcop, since I'm 
reporting it anyway.
