  1. OK gentlemen. Pretty optimistic, so I'll keep on keeping on. Marley, I'll write back if the digitaloceans seem to have [ever] ended. Personally, I think they have enough evidence now, if they'd care to react. I know it gets a little complicated, some innocent people might have picked up some virus and don't realize their computers have become zombies. But that's just another reason for digitalocean to act faster instead of slower. Preaching to the choir. And Petzl, lately, I've just been accepting whatever the SpamCop parser decided. I used to parse the spams myself for any domains that the SpamCop parser might have missed -- which happens -- and run them through Network-Tools' "whois," to make sure reports would go out to all the involved abuse@whatever.organizations. Did it for years. I'll have to get back to it. The frustrating part is when there's no record of a domain or IP address, not that I or SpamCop could find. Maybe the only thing to do in that case is to send the report to the ITU International Telecommunications Union; lol. I have always assumed the SpamCop parser either found the source IP or responded that it couldn't find it and therefore gave up. I should double-check.
  2. Three of my email addresses get spammed occasionally. I like to think it's not as bad as it used to be as a result of SpamCop efforts and my small contributions. Or maybe the scammers have gotten out of the game because it's not so profitable as it used to be, and that only leaves the malicious spammers that just want to be annoying because everyone needs a hobby and no one has ever told them that it's never too late to get your Ham radio license. I activated a 2nd monitor last year. I keep the three webmail pages up all the time, waiting for those spams to come in. So my response time has been better than ever, usually achieving Fresh status. Lately, I'm wondering about DigitalOcean. They look like a proper organization. So I can't help wondering how long it will take before this proper organization responds to the reports of garbage being spewed through their system. Might be a rhetorical question. Thanks for tolerating. I feel better already. -neil-
  3. Hi LKing. You wrote: > I don't know you. Well, we've never been formally introduced. But since my social graces stink, I'd better leave it to someone else. "Administrator." Cool. Thanks for serving. Hi Gnarley. OK about Yahoo servers. But this has been happening, occasionally, with Yahoo for sooooo long. If it's their problem, then I guess they're uninterested in doing anything about it. Personally, I set my clocks almost often enough that I should talk to my shrink about it. Too bad their "wrong time" isn't some time in the future. Then I could get extra-credit for reporting spam that hasn't even been sent yet. Or something like that. -n- https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/
  4. I remember when the gmail spam folder stopped being empty all the time. But so far, no non-spams in my spam folder(s). That would be an awful turn of events, as they evolve from doing everything well to not doing anything right.
  5. Received: from 199.217.115.33 (EHLO sequencemarket.pw) by 10.197.37.10 with SMTP; Sat, 3 Oct 2020 21:33:50 +0000 X-Apparently-To: x; Sat, 3 Oct 2020 21:33:51 +0000 Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2020 17:32:47 -0400 (EDT) The header says this email was processed around 1700 Hours my local (Eastern) time, +0400. Other times are given as 2100 +0000. So the times are consistent. I know I checked for fresh spam multiple times last night. I don't know exactly when it showed up, but it didn't show up when it was processed. I just found the spam at 1000 hours, the day after, 17 hours after the spam was apparently processed. My hypothesis is that, for whatever reason, Yahoo held on to the spam for many hours, rending it useless for SpamCop reporting. Am I interpreting the timeline correctly, that Yahoo is delaying delivering spams? Anyone else notice this? Even before their last corporate takeover, I've seen this behavior from some Yahoo spams. Or, is it a trick by the spammer? Thanks, -n-
  6. Ok. So the whole "Received:" line is a forgery. If anyone's interested: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6643327190zb33a603c90f8edb039ee9fc7ef49ffd1z
  7. Hi Gnarly. Thanks for the reply. I think I understand some of that. Are you saying that Newegg was hacked?!? But what you say suggests that it would indeed be beneficial if I can send in those SpamCop reports ASAP. Perhaps if someone can invent a SpamCop Alarm, so that my computer would beep when stuff shows up in my spam folder. That would certainly cut down on my reporting delays.
  8. > ovh.net Me too. If you wanna hear a nightmare: I went to Googlemaps to find a doctor near me. I found a nearby listing, but the address was a private residence, but they provided a cellphone number. So I sent a text message with damn near my life's story in it, including my ever-clean [google] email address that I use for friends and family. One clue that the listing was fake was that the Dr.'s name was Dibbledydibble, or something like that. But, y'know, I needed a doctor, and who ever heard of people using Googlemaps to harvest information like that? That fake "doctor's" listing disappeared. Within a couple of days, I started getting ovh.net and some other spams to my "clean" email address. Anyway, google does a good job of keeping spam out of the Inbox. I haven't anti-spammed in a long time, but this guy forced me back into it with a vengeance. I'm even setting my alarm clock for 2:30 AM to catch his 1:30 AM spams, so I can report them Fresh. Based on this thread, I wouldn't expect this unstoppable behavior to come out of a civilized country as France. It's disappointing that there's no authority there to affect ovh.net. I just noticed, an interesting line from my most recent report: Received: from p1-002133.promo.newegg.com (214.ip-51-79-145.net. [51.79.145.214]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id l3si5139590plb.379.2020.07.24.22.53.52 for <x> According to ipinfo.io, 51.79.145.214 is ovh.net. They report a Canadian flag. The report was not copied to Newegg. I'll have to send a copy on my own. "Dear Newegg, I found your name in the header of a spam-email, if you might be interested..." I don't understand how the spammer got Newegg tied up with his shenanigans. Thanks for anti-spamming.
