That sounds like the Italian IP of your recent 'spam' example which is
actually a viral propagation.

85.40.108.210 rDNS  host210-108.pool8540.interbusiness.it
Virus identified  I-Worm/Mytob.HL

If you /successfully/ submit and report the isolated propagation as
discussed in news:[email protected]

then SC will identify the source IP if reported, and tally up the
'score' according to its formula described at
http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/297.html  What is the SpamCop
Blocking List (SCBL)?

which weighs recent reports, considers reputation points or estimations
of nonreport traffic, weighs any additional SC spamtraps and so forth.

At the present time, the IP 85.40.108.210 does not show on the 'radar
screen' at senderbase.
