For the life of me, I can't figure out why I keep getting the error that the message I'm submitting is too large on this one... it's small. (I removed all the personal IP/hostname info)

...Sorry, not a clue, it works perfectly well for me: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z3216466715z2...f416478fc92d39z. I'd suggest you contact the SpamCop Deputies (deputies[at]admin.spamcop.net) on this one. Good luck!

(Way back) in the past, this was an error condition usually brought on by some non-printable control characters within the header. However, just as Steven states, copying off what you provided and pasting that into the web-form works just fine from here. Conclusion at this point would be that whatever characters that exist in the original e-mail didn't make the cut/paste/manipulation of the Forum post. Can only suggest trying to do a compare between what got posted and what the actual e-mail loks like.

I can reproduce this problem. I pasted your spam e-mail into the SpamCop web form and received the too much data error. Note, that I used Internet Explorer 6.0. The problem is a unicode character for the apostrophe in the following line "...ONLY to the Company’s email address..." of the spam e-mail.

The link to George's topic is Incorrect 50k Data Limit in Single E-Mail Error. Thanks George, that's helpful - Brandon (O/P) will be relieved that this is coming into focus.
