I have my Email set up to block all mail from senders not on my whitelist, yet I still get several Spam mails passed through per day. Please can anyone explain why that might be?

If you are using the spamcop email service, someone in the spamcop email forum might be able to help you figure out why.

Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine.

Miss Betsy

For each spam email that should not have gotten through, look at the headers, specifically the X-Spamcop-* headers. The X-SpamCop-Disposition header should tell you why the email was allowed (which whitelist entry was used). If you can't fix the problem by fixing your whitelist, please post an example header in the SpamCop Email Forum or email it to "support at spamcop.net". Thanks!

Moved from SpamCop Help to SpamCop Email because it has to do with the SpamCop Email System.
