Could it be that your mail host is not receiving properly?  My email 
submissions to SpamCop go out through my ISP's SMTP server, but the 
replies come back via a mail service SMTP server; the timestamps on 
SpamCop replies to my own submissions in the face of flakiness at the 
mail service lead me to the conclusion that SpamCop does not queue the 
responses to email submissions. Apparently, the SMTP session is 
started, the response is generated "on the fly" and the spams are 
simultaneously put into the database, and the SMTP session is ended. 
One result of this approach is that the spams are not available 
through the web interface until the reply email has been successfully 
sent.
