An example is at Spamcop Report

Most of them seem to be copies. The themes are ED and bogus Academic degrees.

I have the graylist on and all of the blacklists on. I had spam assassin set to 2 (been there for years), but I set it to 3 today.

Everything has been fine until the last month or so, but it's getting really annoying now (dozens of spam in the inbox every day). Is this a common problem?

This e-mail made it to your InBox based on your Whitelisting rules, as documented within the headers;
X-SpamCop-Whitelisted: spamcop.net .. which overrides all other handling.

As above, none of that matters due to your whitelisted rules and the spammer use of the spamcop.net domain in the From: and Reply-To: addresses.

Which would tend to allow more spam. Your sample spam had a score of 33, yet was overriden by your whitelisting.

Thanks, I didn't see that.

It probably should be noted that apparently some of the SpamCop.net e-mail account holders did in fact fall for the phishing e-mail from a few days back.

Has nothing to do with my situation. I have had the spamcop.net entry in my whitelist for years. I didn't receive any plishing e-mail regarding spamcop.

This is clearly a case of a bogus sending address, even the spam analysis said so. I've removed the entry from my whitelist, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Off subject, I really like the graylist!
