> Welcome to Spamcop.net
SpamCop is the premier service for reporting spam. SpamCop determines the origin of unwanted email and reports it to the relevant Internet service providers. By reporting spam, you have a positive impact on the problem. Reporting unsolicited email also helps feed spam filtering systems, including, but not limited to, SpamCop's own service.

> [Resolved] Account renewal status?

According to my records, I should be due for an account renewal, but I haven't gotten a notice. Is there somewhere I can check the status of my account?

Posted by efa - 05-16-12 17:43 - 9 comments
what happen when found an IP that generate the infamous:
"No reporting addresses found for <IP>, using devnull for tracking."
I imagine no mail is sent outside Spamcop, and the one to <nomaster[at]devnull.spamcop.net> is to start a manual process to discover the right email. Right?
Here an example:

> Hanging in nag screen
Posted by A.J.Mechelynck - 05-13-12 12:34 - 4 comments
When I click “Process spam” after pasting the full source of an email, I seem to get a hang in the nag screen. Going back to the SC home page shows that the spam has been accepted: “Unreported spam Saved: Report Now” link is present; but if I click it, it hangs again.

What's happening? “Postponed scheduled upgrade” (as mentioned without new date below the main textarea on the home page) in progress? Or is it something else?

N.B. From here, www.spamcop.net resolves to 80.239.148.171

> SpamCop let me incorrectly report my OWN SITE
Posted by diltonm - 05-12-12 12:37 - 5 comments
I was sent what is called a SPAMVERTISMENT by searchenginebanners.net trying to get me to use their service for my site McCOMSoft.com.

I dutifully reported them using SpamCop but because I had "3rd Party Report Default" set in my Report Handling Preferences (I think this was why anyway), SpamCop sent an abuse email to my VPS hosting center Linode.com.

If I'd caught this I would have not sent it.

So I almost immediately got contacted by Linode to their credit but I quickly grew upset about the whole matter.

Q) I've turned off that 3rd party option, will this prevent future incidents like this?

Q) Why does SpamCop's email parser not have the smarts to see that a URL is the victim in an email and not the participant?

EDIT: I've taken the action of adding my host using SpamCop's mailhosts tab. I report spam using the web interface at SpamCop so I don't even know if this is related but I'm hoping it will help prevent this type of problem from occurring in the future.

I haven't used Spamcop for about 1 week, I went to sign in today and my email address was not found. I have tried resetting password but email doesn't exist. Yet when I try and rejoin with the same email it says its already in use????
