Spammers are known to use dial-up links, in order to get a different
IP address for each spamming session. And by the way, a real mail

Well, SpamCop is doing a nice job. You get blocked probably because
someone in the campus tries to make some extra money by sending spam.
Or, thats worst, one of the campus SMTP servers is relaying spam.
