True enough. However, problems may arise if spamcop's behaviour
changes unexpectedly. Traditionnally spamcop has been quite good at
detecting which hops are mailing lists or even the spam recipient's
own ISP and/or forwarder, and which are the real spam source.
However, apparently spamcop's algorithm occasionnally guesses wrong,
and includes hosts in the report which it shouldn't really include.
Yes, the user has the possibility to manually deselect these default
suggestions, but as the system has worked so well in the past, many
don't bother to doublecheck.
