Facing a similar problem, my approach is to report only that spam that 
isn't already listed in other major blocklists like spamhaus xbl+sbl, 
sorbs, spews, ahbl and dsbl and when it doesn't originate from china or 
korea. This cuts down my spamcop usage.

It is all done by scripts that look in the header of e-mails, it would 
be a nightmare to manually sort it out.
