If they read my text, they would email their ISP.

Ok, I am conceding that 48 hours should not be used.  Though I am
betting that whiners would be relieved to find out that 'their' IP
address will age off in 24 hours instead of 48 and think their
email to the deputies has accomplished something.

Edited version
The SpamCop BL listing will expire automatically within a specific
period of time based primarily on when the last spam came from that
IP address. http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/297.html for
more information on the SpamCop BL listing.

The official spamcop FAQ is referenced both for the admins and the
end users already and is now referenced again.
