Make sure nothing is 'wrong with' the news.spamcop.net account.

Server tab - uncheck This server requires me to log in [which will cause
the SPA field to be greyed out]

Then I would configure to make a log of the nntp transaction between my
OE and the newsserver.  OE/ Toos/ Options/ Maintenance tab/
Troubleshooting section - temporarily check News

Then try to access the newsgroup.  That will cause a logfile to be
written to disk called news.spamcop.net.log - buried deep in a
folder/identity pathway and most easily found with the Find function
searching on *.log or news.spamcop.net.log.  It is very important to
uncheck that Troubleshooting log file function after the troubleshooting
is over, or else it will grow to large proportions.

I just made one which looks something like this:
