Heh.

Doesn't seem to be that:

We receive very very few spam complaints, and spamcop has been silent on
us for at least a month.  About the only spam I've been made aware of is
from trojaned dsl customers, but we cut that off when notified.  So I'm at
a loss as to what this is all about...

Thanks,

Charles
