Like other DNSBLs, SpamCop's SCBL is controversial. Criticism primarily comes from those whose IP address has recently been abused and thus listed by SpamCop, resulting in their mail being marked as spam or rejected by servers that use the SCBL service. In SpamCop's case, third parties (who some may consider innocent) can be affected when an IP they use becomes Black-listed due to reports that accuse their IP Address of being a spam/UBE source. SpamCop provides procedures for de-listing; see SCBL dispute resolution for accurate information. HISTORY SpamCop was founded in 1998 as an individual effort. As the reporting service became more popular, staff was added and the SCBL became more useful. It has commonly been the target of DDoS attacks and Lawsuit s from organizations listed in the SCBL. Email security company IronPort purchased SpamCop, but it remains independently run by founder Julian Haight. EXTERNAL LINKS
