As an experienced user, I have no problem filtering out his messages. 
However, the same cannot be said for the dozens (hundreds?) of other
people he spams.  My employer and various other people on his mailing list
want to know how to block him.  Rather than prepare twenty different
responses giving instructions for each person's particular combination of
operating system and software, I figure it's best to tell everyone to
report the problem to SpamCop and hope that Yahoo! and/or his ISPs
permanently suspend him for TOS violations.

When the automated mailhosts configuration failed, the SpamCop web page
gave me an option to request manual configuration by a SpamCop
administrator.  They call this a "waiver".

That was an old submission.  Submissions made after mailhosts configuration
are processed correctly.
