In my opinion:

That message means that the date stamp on the last accepted received 
header line in the parser on the spam you submitted predates when 
spamcop was notified by the ISP that the issue was resolved.

Because of this, there is no point in reporting abuse that pre-dates the 
resolution of the spam problem by the ISP.

If you get spam that is newer than that, I think the parser will still 
report it because it would then be a new issue.

Example:
Converting the date on the last received header to UTC to illustrate the 
point:

date -ud 'Tue, 16 May 2006 13:35:24 -0400'
Tue May 16 17:35:24 UTC 2006

The parse said:
ISP has indicated spam will cease; ISP resolved this issue sometime 
after Tuesday, May 16, 2006 7:42:52 PM -0600
Message is 8 hours old

Converting that date to UTC:
date -ud 'May 16, 2006 19:42:52 -0600'
Wed May 17 01:42:52 UTC 2006
