Spamcop seems to list, and then remove, sites very quickly. They had
blacklisted uic.edu main outbound mail server, but then less than a day
later, it was nowhere to be found on their list.

Greetings mba_AT_thebarn.com list users.
I'm forwarding this note from Roger because we have a similar
problem. AOL (Americans on Lithium?) and some other ISP's have
decided that thebarn.com is a spammer, and so is notereceiving/accepting
any e-mail from thebarn.com.
For the affected addresses:
1. Mail from thebarn.com is bouncing.
2. You won't see this note.
Cheers,
Jim

If your list mail from cbs-hb bounces because spamcop or somebody else
thinks that (anything).uic.edu is a spammer, YOU WILL BE UNSUBSCRIBED.
This will happen automatically, and we will be unable to warn you,
because uic.edu cannot send you mail - that's the whole problem. We will
not investigate these because we are simply not interested. But you'll
be off the list. The only way you'll know that this has happened will be
the absence of list postings. Sorry to be unfriendly about this, but
that's cruel reality in this era of spam taking over the Internet.
PLEASE WAIT to resubscribe until you have disabled spamcop checking at
your ISP, or you have found another ISP, or you will be immediately
re-unsubscribed when your welcome message bounces.
About spamcop: This is a FAILED, earlier attempt to control spam email
at its source. However, since all modern spammers have discovered how to
lie about the source and intermediate routing of their messages, this
method is ineffective and obsolete. Use modern content-based spam
killing software on your end instead, and be sure to add uic.edu to your
"white list".
