I think the contribution of spamcop reporters to the sc-surbl is
worthwhile.  This contribution comes about by the publishing by spamcop
of reported spamvertised url/s to the statistics page where sc-surbl
scrapes it.

I think the parser should be reconfigured so that SC reporters can
optionally 'statistic' each identified link in SC's parse of the body;
without the parser having to resolve the IP or derive the notify
addresses.

By giving every identified link some kind of devnull statistic notify
address, the reporter could select that for every spamvertiser, but not
for any innocent bystanders which are found.  Thus all spamvertisers
would be sent to the statistics page instead of just the ones which SC
feels like or is able to or has time to resolve.
