You shouldn't be reporting mailing list spam with spamcop;  there's a
rule http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/14.html On what type of
email should I (not) use SpamCop? -- Spam sent to mailing lists

Altho' this particular one doesn't make the list addy the source,
sometimes they do.  In any case, mailing list spam is supposed to be
dealt with other ways and not spamcop reported..

No, that isn't true.  Typically SC can't tell one type of contained link
from another.

Because it is a mailing list, it shouldn't be submitted to the parser as
spamcop reportable spam in the first place.  Secondly, it is the
responsibility of the reporter to uncheck innocent bystanders.
