Spam Cop

We recently received a letter from Spam Cop. I have a few questions:
1. What type of power does spam cop have?

2. Our tech guy is telling us that they can completely shut down our
email and make it impossible for us to send or receive email ever again,
is this true?

3. What effects does Spam Cop have when you are reported?

4. What are the ramifications of being complained about 3 times?

I am unsure of anything about the effects of being reported. We are a
niche business and we want to send out a one time mailing to dentists to
describe a free service that we are providing to them. We have built a
national database of over 130,000 dental websites and we are giving them
to the dentists for free. We want them to be aware that they have a
website, and, if they wish, they can check their information to be sure
it is correct and make any changes they want. There are no paid services
included. This is a free public service.

Apparently we have had two complaints. ( I sent out a test mailing of
200. But, so far we've had over 25 dentists respond and sign in). Can we
send out our one time mailing? What effects will it have if people
complain to spam cop again? Will they shut us down?

Please any advice would be great.
