This is not uncommon.  Note that SpamCop says it should not be used
in production:

   This  blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used in
   a  production environment where legitimate email must be delivered. It
   is  growing  more stable and is used by many large sites now. However,
   SpamCop  is  aggressive  and often errs on the side of blocking mail ...

There's little we can do if end-users block sourceware based on
faulty data.

Perhaps we should unsubscribe list members who forward mailing list
spam to rbl sites.  We do the best we can to block spam, but some
of it is just going to get through and adding sourceware to the
rbl sites doesn't help anyone.
