First of all, I'm just a spamcop user (hence the @spamcop.net e-mail
address), not an admin.

The only instances in which spamcop will get you listed without Verio
receiving notification are:

1) If a piece of spam hits one of spamcop's spam traps, or

2) The spamcop user submitting a munged report. I do believe that Verio
refuses munged reports. While things may have changed for the better, Verio
earned itself a reputation of passing complaints along to the spammers they
hosted, which resulted in revenge attacks directed at complainants by the
spammers. Therefore nobody trusts Verio with their e-mail address any more.

If the IP address you were worried about is that of greenberg.org then
you're no longer in the SCBL. In fact there doesn't seem to be any history
of it ever having been there...
