In which case, is there something fundamentally broken about the spamcop
system ? Or is there some technically insoluble problem here ?

On principle or pragmatically?
How dificult would it be for them to have some sort of auto-whitelisting?
After all, de-listing must involve some effort. If the lesson isn't

people at spamcop who know murphy by name. Or are they fighting some sort
of war to get murphy set up differently?
