SpamCop so far does not need extra features of tuffmail (why would you want 
to fix something not broken)

SpamCop email sets-up the reporting so it'sVery Easy Reporting (VER) used 
(not a afterthought) Just a click of a mouse has all spam in your bulk 
folder selected and reported This ofeten stops the hole that spammer is 
crawling through

Other pluses are that SpamCop allow efficient whitelisting which is missing 
in Tuffmail?

The methods of tuffmail sorting spam will mean a very high false positive 
without whitelisting with a lot of legitimate email blended in with spam. 
SpamCop email also use spamassasin but with the very much needed and unique 
whitelist of one's own creation (not only email addresses but domains and 
even countries)

Also they do not use the best and most accurate of Blocklists our very own 
SCBL which lists spammers as they try to send sam not aterwards and 
releasing that IP when spam stops. Other blocklists used by tuffmail just 
add to lists removal from lists is nt that effiecient

And yes SpamCop email has even more to offer than is said here
