SpamCop does notify, or try's to, the owner of the spam source, this source 
gets added to many blocklists

For a spam proof/resistant email account the only effective one is
http://www.spamcop.net/ces/individuals.shtml
This sorts spam to a folder for Very Easy Reporting (VER) and deletes 
virus's Keeps inbox clean

Unless your email account is properly using the SCBL and or other blocking 
means you are fighting a losing battle

Security of far to many computers is non-existent
For instance anyone with a WiFi laptop can find unsecured computers 
everywhere
http://stumbler.net/
has a (no cost, beggarware) program which will easily locate such networks 
for one to use and abuse
