so, the consensus is that _again_ we need to push SF for better spamfiltering 
(no bouncing; i don't think it does that anymore) and maybe learning as well 
(you never know if it works better).

furthermore, there should be a way for one person who actually checks every 
spam that still comes through and report it to spamcop (as spamcop tells us 
that mailing list message cannot be reported (unless by the maintainer).
