mschmitt Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Today I forwarded (as attachment) spam to my personal spam submission address, but it went into a black hole: nothing was received back from the SpamCop AutoResponder, and it never showed up on the Report spam page. I tried it twice, on completely different spam, with same no-result. This used to work, as of October 3rd. Is it just me or is this a widespread problem?

Farelf Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just tried and submission worked fine - no e-mail back to say so but submission was waiting, ready to report almost instantly. [edit] Ah, autoresponder e-mail DID arrive, just took a little over 4 minutes to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I don't think so. I have been submitting spam by email all day and receiving responses, last one about 8 minutes ago. Have you looked at past reports to see when the last spam was processed? there may be a buffering issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi, mschmitt,        Sorry to hear of your problem! Have you had a look at the SpamCop FAQ article labeled "Emailed spam Submissions Disappearing? No Confirmation e-mails?" to see if anything there might be relevant to your situation?

turetzsr Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014        From what little you've mentioned here so far, doesn't "Failure Point #1 (before Action E in TECHNICAL DETAILS below)" apply to your case? If not, certainly "PROBLEM RESOLUTIONS for Reporters" item #4 applies to you, as it applies to everyone to which nothing else seems to apply! <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschmitt Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Spoke too soon. I tried doing a submission while also CC'ing myself, and I'm not getting that either. Now I'm really confused. Here's the results: 1. Submitted to SpamCop from FastMail via FastMail webmail through Apple's iCloud SMTP: SpamCop never received, no response. 2. Submitted to SC from desktop via iCloud SMTP: SC never received, no response 3. Submitted to SC from desktop via iCloud with CC of FastMail address: SC never received, and I didn't get the CC either 4. Submitted to SC from desktop via FastMail SMTP with CC of FastMail address: SC never received and I didn't get the CC and yet, all other email I send, including some test messages to these addresses, are working fine. This doesn't make any sense. It doesn't seem to be the SMTP server filtering it, because I tried two servers. It can't be FastMail filtering the response, because the Report link never activates, showing that SC isn't getting it. But then why don't I get the CC? It can't be local software blocking it, because FastMail webmail didn't work on a completely different machine. ... more testing ... OK, I think I'm getting blocked by two different SMTP servers, in two different ways: 1. I think the iCloud SMTP server thinks my SpamCop mail submission is spam, and is dropping it on the send. 2. I think the FastMail SMTP server is blocking any mail sent "From" a different address; meaning it is rejecting it because I was sending it from my iCloud address. I finally got it to work by using FastMail SMTP and sending from a Fast Mail address. WHAT A PAIN. This is exactly why it was much simpler to use submit spam reports from the SpamCop email system.
