I'm confused -- the spamcopy info page you listed implies that hosts are listed if they are an _open relay_, which is a completely different thing from `spam leaking though VGER's lists.'
If VGER actually is an open relay, that's very bad, but presumably something easily solved by the machine's maintainers. Some spam getting through to VGER list recipients, on the other hand, is just annoying (and certainly shouldn't be the cause of any blacklisting).
The spamcop report page seems to say that the listings are due to user reports; could the real problem be clueless users who don't understand the difference above?
Does anyone have a better idea of what's actually going on?
Thanks,
