You can report spam sent to a tuffmail account (or an account at any other 
ISP)
to spamcop almost as easily as you can from a spamcop mail account.  And you
can choose not to report anything with an email account from any vendor.
Spamcop reporting/DNSBL = unique, unmatched, and insanely great. Spamcop 
email
account = pretty good, but doesn't have important features that vendors like
sneakemail and tuffmail have.

In fact, if you do a feature-by-feature comparison, there is, IMO, only
one area where a spamcop email account beats a tuffmail email account
(but it is a big enough advantage to me that I use a spamcop email account
as my public email address); having "@spamcop.net" at the end of your email
address tends to reduce your incoming spam load by scaring some spammers.
