I started reporting spam again via SpamCop the other day. Before I did that, I went through their mailhost configuration interface so that their parser would know what my legitimate servers were. I thought I had done that properly, but evidently not, because today I got an email from the Flying Hamster (one of the BOFHs associated with Lspace.org) informing me that I'd gotten his server blacklisted and asking me to a) cut it out and b) contact SpamCop to get it un-blacklisted, pronto.
Oh, bloody hell.
I did email the SpamCop admins, and one of them fixed both the blacklist and my mailhost config. He also emailed me links to a couple of the problem spams so that I could see what the output looked like when they were parsed correctly, and that was especially instructive in knowing what to watch for.
But I still feel dumb.
