The idea is that you overlook SpamCop's parsing process, and make sure 
you don't report:
- yourself (your own mail server)
- your mail provider (or access provider whose email services you use)
- any innocent bystanders (such as websites cited by a spammer to make 
things look official or believable)

Uncheck any targets such as the above before you submit.

*That* process cannot be automated - it requires a human to make common-
sense decisions.

If that means you get more spam than you have time to report - do it 
"backwards": latest spams first (to increase the chance of stopping a 
spamrun in its tracks). And just stop when you have no more time.

Quality of reporting is more important than quantity.
