Per instructions - here follows the complete 'preferences' page.

Reporting preferences

Display Name

(box with my display name in it here)

Normally, SpamCop sends reports identified by a simple number. Here, you can 
personalize your reports with your own name. In either case, SpamCop will 
conceal your real email address and forward any replies to the numerical 
address to you. Your Display Name should be a handle or your real name, not 
an email address.



Personal copies of outgoing reports

(box for e-mail address here)

If you wish to receive a copy of every outgoing report, enter your email 
address here. This is a "Bcc" so nobody else will be able to see this 
address. Note that this will create a separate copy for each report even if 
there are multiple reports per spam.



Public standard report recipients

(box for e-mail address here)

If you wish others to receive a copy of every spam you submit, enter the 
email address here. Please do not send to any address which is not receptive 
to receiving untargetted spam reports. Note this will create only one copy 
for each spam, even if there are multiple reports per spam.



Show Technical Details during reporting

x Simple output
O Show technical data

SpamCop can reveal the logic it uses as it finds the right reporting parties 
for your spam. This can be helpful for advanced users who want to 
double-check SpamCop's logic, or for new users who want to learn from 
SpamCop's example.



"Are you sure?" Prompts

x Prompt me - Ask if you are sure when deleting
O No Prompts - I always know what I am doing.

SpamCop uses javascript confirmation boxes to ask if you are sure whenever 
you perform actions which could be destructive. By choosing "no prompts," 
you can override this often-annoying feature.



Report reply handling

x Forward only replies from sentient people
O Forward replies from people and robots

SpamCop challenges "administrators" by making them respond to an email to 
determine if they are people or robots. Only human replies which require 
action from you are forwarded to your attention by default.

You may override this behavior if you would rather receive every reply, 
robotic or otherwise.



Quick Data Reports

O Disable quick data reports
x Enable quick data reports

When you use "quick" spam submission SpamCop sents automatic "[SpamCop] 
Quick reporting data" response. By choosing "Disable quick data reports", 
you can override this behavior.



Spam Munging

x Obscure identifying information
O Leave spam copies intact
O Become a "mole" - Don't even send reports (mostly pointless)

SpamCop usually tries to obscure (munge) your email address and other 
identifying information from spam reports before they are sent. However, 
some ISPs will not accept this type of report.

If you select munging, SpamCop will not send to ISPs which refuse munged 
reports by default (you will be given a default-off option when using the 
web-interface). If you select intact spam copies, SpamCop will send all 
reports unmodified.

It has become painfully obvious that spammers are able to identify your 
email address by using tracking codes - even after SpamCop's attempts to 
munge them. It has also become plain that even the largest and most 
well-respected ISPs forward complaints intact to the accused.

In response, we now offer the ability to send reports silently. These 
reports are not emailed and are not available to anyone but SpamCop 
administrators and will not be shared (except as aggregate counts).



3rd party report default

O Send by default
x Do not send by default

Sometimes, people other than the ISP as identified by SpamCop have an 
interest in seeing copies of SpamCop reports (for example, small downstream 
providers, or users running services on a DSL or cable-modem). SpamCop will 
offer you a checkbox on the web-reporting form when this occurs. Normally, 
this checkbox is default ON, but by changing this option, you can alter the 
behavior of SpamCop so that the default is OFF.
