[SpamCop-List] SpamCop - Web Service available?

Greetings.

I submit spam using MailWasher v.5.0, and I am looking for a more 
efficient method of reporting the spam. I currently have to log in at 
SpamCop, and use the "Unreported Spam Saved: Report Now", "Send Spam 
Report(s) Now" tennis-tag-team method to confirm and report spam. I find 
this to be horrible inefficient, and I am looking to "mash up" my own 
solution.

For this, I need to know if SpamCop provides a web service alternative. 
That is, is there a SOAP/XML web service by which I could make use of. I 
would want to create a AJAX project that consumes SOAP/XML feeds 
straight off of SpamCop.

My only current alternative is to use ASP.NET's screen scraping features 
to "read" out the current pages, search for specific content, and 
integrate it into my project. This is clunky at best, and highly 
sensitive to any changes to SpamCop's page structure at worst.

Does anyone know of any SOAP/XML web service feeds from SpamCop that I 
can make use of? A quick look around the public section didn't turn up 
anything.

Sincerely,
René Kabis
