Did you have the Exit node flag on port 80? You should contact directly to spamcop to inform them about tor since they are active contacting ISPs.
I had and still have the ORPort on 443. I had DirPort on 9030, but have since moved it to port 80 so that I can put up the Tor Exit explanatory web page (DirPortFrontPage).
So what do people do about spam via webmail? Blocking ports 80 and 443 largely negates the point of being an exit node.
Thanks for the reply.
