Does SpamCop Mail have keyword filters that can, for example, separate all
messages with "Springfield" into another folder? Also, can the munging
remove other keyword strings like phone numbers and residential addresses?

Yes, it does, but they are only activated when you use Webmail.

No, sorry, it can't.

Is Webmail like a normal Web-based interface where I can send and receive
messages? Can the filters be set up to do:

If Body or Subject contains Springfield, send to Name
Or
If Body or Subject contains Simpson, send to Name
Or
If Body or Subject contains Bank, send to Phish
Or... and so on.

If I could get a consolidated mail interface with filters like this, I'd
sign up for SpamCop Mail.

fastmail.fm can do this, as far as I can see. Dunno about spamcop.

Yes, but only if "Name" and "Phish" are names of mailboxes/Folders. It
can't really "Forward" or "Redirect", it only has the following
(woefully inadequate IMHO) disposition options for messages that match
the Filters:
"Deliver to my INBOX" (AKA Release, that is put in your INBOX or
forward to your secret address (depending on what normally happens to
non-spam messages); only useful for application to messages in other
mailboxes/Folders, and then only with manual activation)
"Deliver to mailbox:" (for any other mailbox/Folder)
"Discard" (AKA Delete/Trash/Vanish)

You got me to sign up and start using more of my time to stamp out spam,
but first I had my time wasted by PayPal.
Paying by credit card:

I get the info form on
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr

While filling in the info and guessing what that Security Measure password
is at the bottom, PayPal redirects to
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?refresh_card_type=Refresh

This page erases some of the info, so I have to input it again. Then it
tells me that my session has expired and I must start over. It took
several tries to get past this payment page.

Does this service come with lawsuit protection, in case a notorious
spammer tries to sue me for reporting it?

No, but you've got Federal and Maryland law behind you. I report
objectionable material in compliance with 47 USC 230 (c)(2)(B) and you
are protected by the Maryland Spam Deterrence Act - see
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/47/230.html and
http://mlis.state.md.us/2004rs/billfile/hb1320.htm for details.
