Spamvertised web sites do not count toward the blocking list.

Most of the spam is coming from compromised computers and the spammers 
hop from one to another to avoid DNSbsl like spamcop and cbl.abuseat.org 
and opm.blitzed.org which expire listings.

The only way to avoid this type of spam is to preemptively block the 
spam source by using either an up to date DHCP list, or to block the 
I.P. address ranges of the ISP that is allowing the spam to be sent.

Once a spam source becomes known, it becomes widely blocked in the more 
conservative lists or local blocking lists, so less spamcop.net 
reporters will be seeing spam from it to keep it on the blocking lists.

Have a talk with your postmaster, and if that is not productive, other 
users of that mail server.

I see the most complaints about lost e-mail and service outages for mail 
servers that accept spam and then try to content filter it on a per user 
basis.  I see the least complaints and the highest uptimes on the mail 
servers that refuse to accept e-mail from known spam sources.  And 
refusing e-mail from known spam sources lowers the cost of operating the 
mail server.
