Listed on SpamCop? It Clears on Its Own
SpamCop lists IPs that SpamCop users report for spam or that hit its spam traps. There's no removal form and nothing to pay: once the reports stop, your IP drops off the list within about a day.
Examples:
How Long It Lasts
SpamCop delists an IP automatically 24 hours after the last spam report, and mirrors can take up to four more hours to catch up. The fastest way off is to stop the mail causing the reports.
Why You Got Listed
It only takes a couple of reports. Common causes: a hacked mailbox sending spam, a marketing list with old or scraped addresses, or bounces sent to forged senders that land in SpamCop's traps. SpamCop's lookup page shows 30 days of listing history, which tells you when the problem started.
Catch the Next One in Hours
SpamCop listings come and go fast, which makes them easy to miss until customers complain. Generator Labs checks your IPs against SpamCop and 150+ other data sources and alerts you by email, Slack, SMS, or webhook when a listing appears. Free for your first host.
