SpamCop trouble

My timcourtney.net accounts are being blocked by SpamCop when sent through my
home ISP - SBC DSL.

I didn't even know my account filtered through SpamCop, my provider must
subscribe to it. Anyways, my provider (zettai.net) is about as helpful as a
rotted log. I'm surprised their support messages don't solely consist of an
autoresponder that says "RTFM."

SpamCop presents me with this URL: http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?68.73.81.83

It appears there's nothing I can do but wait out the 24-48 hours I'm blocked. I
have no other recourse? I emailed their webmaster presenting my case, but I'm
somehow doubtful they'll unblock me early.

I'm quite upset at my provider [1]. I was never told that mail was filtered
through SpamCop, nor that I could potentially be blocked from sending mail. Has
anyone had similar experience? Advice?

[1] They're horrible at communicating with their customers. In the few months
I've been there, they've been very unhelpful to me in setting up a plone site. I
only paid for 3 months, and now I'm going to be looking elsewhere for my
hosting. They don't deserve my money.

(...) Yah, I'd guess that you're correct in your doubts. (...) One of the biggest reasons I started running my own mail server is that I had enough of being helpless while my ISP was mucking with my email. (...) I've learned that lesson the hard way (...)
