There are some risks using Spamcop : use it with a 450 code instead of a 550 
one. Sometimes some IPs get listed and unlisted in Spamcop ...

Example 1 : relay=iad-fw-global.amazon.com [207.171.167.25]
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=207.171.167.25

Example 2 : relay=sc8-sf-sshgate.sourceforge.net [66.35.250.220]
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=66.35.250.220
snort-sigs-admin at lists.sourceforge.net

My recommended Safe RBLS list  : NJABL, ORDB, SPAMHAUS , BLITZED.
