Sure, but I refuse to bother John (update AT abuse.net) only to bypass a "bug" (or feature) in SC's algorithm to guess a better address than what they get from ARIN.
abuse.net doesn't need a working entry for cc.yahoo-inc.com, it has an entry for [see subject] submitted by postmaster@.
John is in contact with Yahoo and should know what abuse addresses to use for them.
That issue has to be fixed at SpamCop somehow, not abuse.net.
SpamCop has some private contact addresses that they use for certain networks. They are sometimes different from John's publically-listed abuse.net addresses.
SpamCop may not have installed that address yet, but it has been provided, and that is significant progress.
ACK, let's see what happens. Yesterday my report never made it to their Web site reports page,
When SpamCop is using a private contact address, it probably doesn't show up on their reports page, but they do get forwarded to the private contact address.
therefore it's no surprise if it also never made it to your WL hit page.
The SpamCop spamvertised site page is the basis for the current sc.surbl.org list, but the sc2 list is based on a direct database feed from SpamCop which I believe may include more reports.
