Yes. I think the only thing worse is when Nigel blocks an entire domain from
being able to sign up for the list. :)
Essentially this person signed up for exim-users, confirmed their
subscription, and then reported the mail from exim-users as spam to Spamcop.
This generates a nice little complaint form to (presumably) Nigel's ISP.
Enough complaints to Spamcop and it'll end up on the Spamcop blacklist which
some sites use to block mail (although given some of the more broken
behavior of Spamcop I can't understand why anyone would want to use
the SC blacklist in a production environment).
There are a variety of other problems with SC that it's probably not worth
going into here.
