I suspect that spammers know a lot more about that than you or I.
Or maybe they don't, and simply do it _randomly_.

Anyway, the point is that simplistic assumptions like "if it arrives at
a spamtrap, it must be spam" are just that -- simplistic.  Spamcop ought
to have measures in place to deal with the inevitable cases where their
assumptions turn out to be wrong.

Unfortunately many anti-spam sites, in their zeal to attack spam, seem
to not care very much about what collateral damage they inflict.
