While figuring out what was happening with this, I found someone state 
a useful way of thinking about this: "Spamcop just tells you whether a 
machine is sending spam or not - what you decide to do with it is up to 
you."

So, I've decided not to use SpamCop as a blacklist, just as a minor 
score incrementer and will be ignoring its opinion of large mailers.  
Same goes for rfc-ignorant.org BL's; yeah, Yahoo! ignores abuse and 
postmaster mail.  But I simply can't throw all mail from Yahoo! users 
in the Junk folder.  Still, it's useful information for unknown 
domains.
