"SpamCop" doesn't blacklist domains.  It provides a convenient mechanism
for offended recipients to report spam sources to their ISPs and to sites
that *do* blacklist offenders, but it does that by analyzing actual message
headers and so would not finger your work if it was just a case of forged
From: addresses.

  What *will* get you fingered by SpamCop and blacklisted is if your email
server is running as an "open relay", where spammers are sending their junk
to your server and *it* is redistributing it to the rest of the Internet.
The SpamCop site links to references which explain how to fix this for a
variety of popular mailserver packages; there are some older/cheaper
packages for which this was not possible and so an upgrade may be necessary.
  Generally, the folks running the blacklists have developed tests which
will determine whether a server is an open relay, and will gladly remove an
entry as soon as the test shows that the problem has been corrected.

  Running an open relay that is being exploited is a much more active
contribution to the spam problem than owning a domain name that is being
spoofed.
