Everytime I report spam , spamcop sends me a report, I get lots of spam so I now gets lots opf spam reports....

How can I turn of all notification ?

In my prefs on spamcop I have left the "Personal copies of outgoing reports" blank.

thanks.

I'm going to guess that what you are really talking about is the "notification" that your e-mailed spam has been accepted for processing. You're not alone in stating that you don't need them, but historically, there's a lot of folks that start getting excited when they don't show up, as that's the first sign of something gone wrong ...

And if you haven't followed the process, those aren't "spam reports" .. they are your opportunity to go look at the SpamCop analysis output and you have to make a decision as to whether or not to actually send those complaints out, based on which check-boxes you leave selected ... If you're not doing this, your "complaints" thus far haven't gone anywhere.

The line you say you cleared would have sent you a copy of the actual complaint(s) .. had one (or more) actually gone out.

Thanks for the help but now I am more confused, here is what I am doing :

1/ add any spam to held mail folder
2/ select all spam in held mail and send for reporting
3/ I then later on get "results of my submission" in my E-Mail with a link to the offending E-Mail

which if I click on and read states in the text : short Example
========================================
"Reports regarding this spam have already been sent:"

etc etc

have these been reported or not ?

if so great, but how do I stop these "results of submissions" pouring into my E-Mail.
If this means they have not yet been reported then why tell the "Reports regarding this spam have already been sent:"?

Your second post describes a different method of spam submittal as compared to the way I read your first ...

First of all, have you read through http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=88 , especially the added from Miss Betsy?

The text "Reportid: 759493787" says yes, this report number was sent to the identified address.
