As I report that spam (the message claiming I sent a message I did not)
I include something like the following text in my SpamCop report:

      Believe it or not, spammers lie.

      Please adjust your software to not send these meaningless warnings
      blindly to the "From:" address, but instead respond within the SMTP
      dialog, so your comments get to the actual originator rather than
      pestering an innocent bystander.
