I did not report it, but they have a problem, in my opinion, of
bouncing a reply to what I suspected as a Joe Job. However you could
be correct that it was a virus

I have seen Linux variants (Redhat) complain about spamcop blocking
before

Lucky I do check confirm my spam before reporting

My only failure in the years of reporting was when a colleague sent me
a email from "bear" inviting me to see his "bear site"? This happens
to be a local site about a problematic airport with anti-neighbourhood
ambitions

Completely different email address and using a new USa website the
Domain register shut his site down on one report (spamcop is
effective)

Not feeling good about this I bought him a years sub to SpamCop Email
service.  Wonder how many sites he will have shut down ;->
