[SpamCop-List] action=checkblock

[Ian Collier]

Been a while since I last did anything at SpamCop except for my daily
email submission of spam that got through the filters...

Anyway.

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=62.253.162.48

What on earth has happened to all the useful info that used to be on
this page?  It used to be possible to make an educated guess as to why
the address got on the list and when it might be delisted (assuming no
further reports).  Now, pretty much the only thing I can find out for
certain is that the address is indeed listed.

The address in question is that of an outgoing mail relay owned by
a major UK ISP.  It should never be the source of any email, so it
shouldn't have been able to get itself listed.  Also, both the (heavily
censored) samples on the above page appear to be viruses and not real
spam, which is another reason why it shouldn't be listed.

(Under the old system it would have been possible to see a bit more
detail about the submitted spams which might explain why SpamCop
thought this server was the origin of the spam.  Alas this is no
longer available.)
