You are not being blocked by Spamcop.  Stop thinking this.  If you're
listed (which you're not, I just checked based on the headers; I'd
appreciate the effort if you do a little research next time), you may
be blocked by individual sites who happen to use the SCBL as a
rejection list.  Spamcop advises potential users of the SCBL that it
tends to be somewhat agressive (blocking entire /24s when more than
one spammer appears in that range) and should *not* be used in this
manner.  http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml
http://spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/290.html

My opinion about RBLs is that if you're going to use them to block
based on thier word alone, make it clear in the rejection message that
people should email *YOU* about this problem instead of letting the
user think it's some third party (usually the maintainer of the RBL).
"postmaster" must always accept mail and be regularly checked to
comply with the relevant RFCs, make sure people know to email there if
there's any questions.
