On the "solid" base of N = 1 cases I guess that this issue
also depends on the FQDN:  sg.geocities worked immediately.

But nslookup -q=ns uk.geocities vs. sg.geocities offers no
clue why that might be relevant, both say that the canonical
name is geocities, period.  And there are six name servers
ns(1|4|5).yahoo.com plus (use1|eur1|ns1-92).akam.net

Exactly the same six IPs in the same order in the additional
info.  Therefore my conclusion is that SpamCop delberately
throttles some but not all geocities complaints.  Which is
strange, after all it's perfectly okay if Yahoo! wants to
be an organization like say Kornet, they could disable all
SC reports or trash them as they see fit - without playing
games with SC users ?!?
