they can be. and in spamcop's case, they usually are. for reference,
check http://www.mail-abuse.org/standard.html and decide whether robotic
spam complaints can or cannot often fit all of (1) (2) and (3) as shown.

that's not what i'm referring to. spamcop has complained to me about
everything from rfc1918 addresses to mail/news gateway spam to mailing list
spam. i eventually had to just hard-reject all mail from spamcop in order
to make it stop. this kind of sloppy work just dilutes the mix and makes
valid hand-generated spam complaints less welcome by association with the
unending crap that comes out of spamcop's robotware.
(if it's any consolation to julian, the helpmesoft approach is even worse.)
