Spamassassin tells you when spamcop thinks something is spam. Here are my 
spamassassin entries from a recently flagged spam:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=15.281 tagged_above=4 required=14.5 tests=AWL,
 DIGEST_MULTIPLE, DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE, DNS_FROM_RFC_POST, DOMAIN_RATIO,
 FORGED_RCVD_HELO, HTML_90_100, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY,
 MIME_HTML_ONLY, MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER, NORMAL_HTTP_TO_IP, PYZOR_CHECK,
 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100, RAZOR2_CHECK, RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET
X-Spam-Level: ***************
X-Spam-Flag: YES

Notice the last entry.  No guesswork involved. Either spamcop identified 
this as an IPA already in thie database, or it didn't.
