SpamCop FAQ : SpamCop Mail Service : FAQ about Filtering and Held Mail : How can this kind of message get thru your filter?
Here’s how the system works. We don’t look at the content of the message. It takes too long and we can’t scale that to 10s of thousands of users. We look at the headers of the message to see where it came from and compare that against our database of spam sources. Using this, we’ll block 80-90% of the spam you receive. Occasionally, one will get through as you’ve seen. Make sure that you have all the blacklists turned on to stop the most spam. You can set these up by logging in to webmail, then go to Options, then SpamCop Tools.
