If you don't put your question where it belongs, in the body of your
message, it isn't possible to answer the question in context without
pasting your subject into the body of the reply.  That isn't the correct
way to write a news message or question.  For practice and propriety in
writing subjects and bodies, you can structure properly by writing the
body first, then writing a brief subject to encapsulate or name/say what
is contained in the body.  That is, the subject should not be the only
place to find the question or point of a post.

'It' amazon.com isn't on the SCbl, for several reasons.

 - amazon.com isn't an IP, SCbl lists IP addresses, not domains
 - the source IP 207.171.165.134 rDNS mm-retail-out-1102.amazon.com is
*not* SCbl listed
 - rather it was tagged for listing because you configured to use sorbs
lists

You can examine the Xlines for how your configuration of the spamcop
filter blocked an item:

X-SpamCop-Checked: 192.168.1.103 207.69.195.97 207.69.195.24
66.94.225.140 207.115.20.47 207.115.20.47 207.171.165.134
X-SpamCop-Disposition: Blocked dnsbl.sorbs.net

That tells you that the last Xline IP 207.171.165.134 caused the item to
be tagged for blocking from the inbox because it was listed in one of
the sorbs blocklists.
