Actually that is what usually happens when people do not give out the 
I.P. address.  A spamcop.net listing is usually an early warning.
If the problem was not an issue of someone reporting their own server, 
usually the IP address ends up on more and more blocking lists as time 
goes on.  Many of the lists are more commonly used than spamcop.net and 
much harder to get off of.

And many spam filters silently delete suspected spam, so the amount of 
places the I.P. gets listed may not be apparent for some time.  And the 
longer the problem is left untreated, the more the cleanup.

And the spamcop.net parser needs an actual spam sample to parse, you can 
not just report an I.P. address because you happen to feel like it.

As long as you withhold the I.P. address there is nothing useful that 
the people here can do.

The goal here is to get systems off of the blocking list, and keep them 
off, not to get as many systems on the blocking list as possible.

The only reason that you can really have for not giving the affected IP 
address is if you are trolling.
