As far as the reports .. agreed .. e-mail sent

The parse results it for spam source are not listed as choices

for sending reports. Strangely, only Cyveillence as a Third-Party

shows up.

I have just tried to report 3 UCE in a row and the system came back with 'nothing to do' every time. Is there maintenance going on?

Me too - there seem to be reportable addresses parsed but no reports generated except for user defined/third party addresses. (Sorry - no tracking URL available).

Just to add more info, submissions at 6:30 AM EST went through. Those at 10:45, did not.

Looks like the issue is resolved:

Heh! As I was typing up the Announcement ... it looks like the code got rolled back .. as your last successful parse not shows;

SpamCop v 1.564.2.1 Copyright © 1998-2005 again ....

Wish I could do the same thing in the newsgroups .. what a mess .. flashbacks to the "techy stuff to be handled over there discussions" ... geeze ....

Dang! Another problem ran into ... I was going to pull a listing of the crazy posting going on over there (in multiple newsgroups) but .... newsgroup archives are off-line .... am I the only one that cares about those things? wierd ...

Edit much later: bit toggled on my main machine, firewall "interactive mode" got turned off somehow, turns out that there was a bunch of sites that were "off-line" for a while <g>

Anyway, my reply "over there" that's sure to tick some folks off (copy from the spamcop.mail group as that covers the most ground) ....

The issue is that this wasn't a SpamCop E-Mail Account issue, so

traffic on this was seen in the spamcop newsgroup and the Forum.

As I posted into the spamcop newsgroup;

New Parsing code broken

- maybe fixed now?

http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6438

As seen, instead of making multiple posts, starting multiple

threads, a bit of analysis was applied, e-mail sent to the

necessary people ... code was rolled back before I got a

reply, but .. that's what one would like to have happen ...

issue seems to be resolved at the moment ....

As noted, we are back to the old code with it's problems (finding, but not reporting links).

Not sure what I'm missing .. I scrolled up/fown through that < span > crap .. but didn't notice another link in there (admitting that my eyesite and this monitor are not getting along)

Reports regarding this spam have already been sent:

If reported today, reports would be sent to:

Re: http://geocities.com/josetalhoganobles/ (Administrator of network hosting website referenced in spam)

network-abuse[at]cc.yahoo-inc.com

maybe a bad example?

I found a new HTML trick that the spammers are using to fool the parser:

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z959721178zc8...65262a28b6528dz

The parser misses the link in this code:

&lt;/title&gt;&lt;DIV class=RTE&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana size=2&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.timetohatekill.com"&gt;http://www.timetohatekill.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; 

But not this code:

&lt;/title&gt;&lt;DIV class=RTE&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana size=2&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.timetohatekill.com"&gt;http://www.timetohatekill.com &lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;

The space between the closing href code is not allowing the link to be parsed... though it IS detected.

I found a new HTML trick that the spammers are using to fool the parser:

Are you suggesting that you have an e-mail client that rendered this e-mail in HTML? There are no "Content-Type:" lines in the header, so technically this should be handled as plain text ....

Brought up in a Forum discussion at

http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6436

(not sure why the user added to this Topic, but for now ...)

Issue is:

e-mail seems to be missing any Content-Type lines

HTML parse code not invoked as there is no HTML defined in header

Text part of parse sees the IB of Vonage sites, but not the payload URL

User states that adding a space before the HTML </a> closing tag

then results in the parser picking up the payload URL ...

So the "Text parse" code seems to be impacted by the HTML

wrapping of the payload URL ...????

Possibly... this was received in my Hotmail, but I manually copy and paste the message content, if that matters. I don't believe I've come across this issue in my SCMail, but I can't see how the text of a href link would prevent the actual coded link from being picked up.
