It's nice to have spamcop figure out the right address to report 
"phishing" to, in hopes that the bank (or ebay or amazon) will hunt down 
those fellows, or perhaps start using digital signatures (one can hope 
anyway).

Anyway, I found spamcop did not resolve the "fake" links that the user 
thinks he is clicking on.  I'm sure they will always stay a step ahead, 
or will use graphics only.

I noticed that there was no copy of the report sent to "abuse@..." to 
the company being spoofed.  I added it to the "user notification" blank 
at the bottom, guessing that "abuse@" is the way to go.

But why guess?  Why not let spamcop look up the reporting address based 
on the link I supply.

My feature suggestion is to have blanks for telling you the cosmetic 
name for a fake link that spamcop didn't figure out for itself.  It can 
then proceed to look up the fraud address for that site.
