With out the IP address, it is impossible to provide much more than the 
FAQ section draft that you quoted.

With an IP address, there are several posters here that can check the 
public internet archives to see what shows up.

The people who would cause your mail server problems are already 
scanning all the I.P. addresses for known vulnerabilities.  Mentioning 
your I.P. address should not increase that exposure.

As the de-listing request through the form is a one-shot, and you do not 
know what caused the listing, that may not have been that useful, as the 
original problem would likely cause a relisting, and then you will have 
to wait up to the 48 hours after the last report.  Unless it can be 
shown that it was a spamcop.net error that caused the listing.
