About SpamCop Blocking List
SpamCop is one of the oldest and most widely deployed spam reporting services. The SCBL (SpamCop Blocking List) is automatically generated from user spam reports and typically expires within 24 hours of the last spam report.
Why am I listed?
IPs are listed when SpamCop users report emails originating from them as spam. The list is entirely automated and threshold-based — a burst of spam reports triggers listing. Shared hosting environments and ESPs with poor list hygiene are frequent sources.
