That's why I use a program called SpamKiller (available at
http://spamkiller.com/ -- there's also a comparable one, and it's
free, at http://www.mailwasher.net/ ). Both programs do similar
things as SpamCop. But what I like is that they (and Spamkiller
specifically) will filter (and either delete or report) spam from
the mail server *even* before it's downloaded.

Spamkiller also updates its filters on a regular basis from known
spammers and also filters expressions inside the message, headers
and even cloaked relays IP's. (You can add your own set of
filters as well, and it's super easy.) Since I receive about
200-500 pieces of spam everyday. I can't live without Spamkiller!

Also, Spamkiller can also be set with "automatic actions" based
on certain filters, so that complaints are launched against KNOWN
spammers. Those that are not "known," they're just deleted.
(Again, perhaps they are totally innocent.)

My 2 cents worth.
