You should take your new pw to http://www.spamcop.net/  and use the
mailaddy and the pw to login.

When you log in at the page above, the same link above will look
different, it will have a webparser.  That page with the webparser will
also have a submit address;  but I'm recommending that you not use it at
this time.

We're headed toward doing some webparsing and reporting first.  Email
submitting has some bumps that we can deal with later.

IMO, everyone's first job is to manage their Inbox in a comfortable
fashion so that spam isn't a nuisance, and spam reporting isn't
necessary to do that.  Spam reporting contributes to antispam efforts,
but clearly it is a voluntary activity that has to fit into your 'scheme
of things'.
