Because SpamCop is a big thorn in spammers’ sides, they will often try to cause trouble by sending out spam that appears to be from SpamCop, but which is actually not. Because most of an email can be forged (including who it is “from”), spammers can send email from addresses @spamcop.net in an attempt to discredit us. However, now that you are here, you can look around and learn what you can do to stop these low-lifes from invading your inbox with their junk – or not. In either case, it is usually not a good idea to reply to spam directly. Spammers use these replies to confirm that your address is real, not to remove you as they claim. There are many resources available to help you fight spam, and SpamCop is just one. There are links from this FAQ to other sites that help you learn about all the issues involved and what you should/should not do about spam.
