The MAPS issue was not resolved the same day, it was the next day and SpamCop was still blacklisting two days after that.

I appreciate the idea of blocking return addresses that don't match the ISP sending might work on paper...however in reality there are millions of people that own a domain name but send via their own ISP. This will affect all of those who use their domain's email addresses...as such I think it's a stupid idea.
