I know that its been effective against our company in terms of getting the
attention of RoadRunner. Every time we send email to our mailing list someone
forgets they subscribed and uses SpamCop or a similar service to complain.
The end result is RoadRunner (our corporate ISP) sends me a registered letter
to start the whole process over again. ("No, it wasn't spam, etc.")

The end result is its only effective if the service providers listen. For
better or worse, RoadRunner has prohibited even working from home in an
attempt to cut down on spam.
