and other BLs are bound to be worse.
Why?
Because SpamCop is supposedly very aggressive about automatically aging
out "stale" entries, while other BLs are not.
Most of the other BLs are manually maintained, and don't seem to publish
their "rules" for listing as clearly as SpamCop. An "incorrect" entry in
the SpamCop BL eventually drops out on its own; other lists may or may
not require manual removal. (Or so I gather from reading the BL sites;
not much information on the "rules" for each BL is public.)
This makes me *think* SpamCop would yield fewer false positives, but I
do know for sure, so want to perform tests to see if my guess is right.
