  1. Resolved! One fairly easy work-around for Outlook running through an "Office 365" server, obviously routed through hotmail: On mine, the first 3 headers which include "outlook.com" render spam reporting addresses as "report_spam@hotmail.com". So here's the fix: 1. Set your mailhost on Spamcop (obviously) 2. On Spamcop reporting, copy the headers from a sample email, preferably from a known source. (As expected, Spamcop will show the hotmail.com reporting address) 3. Repeat with sequential "Received:" headers removed. When doing this, remove the headers all the way from the top, so ... - on the initial try, remove the first "Received:" header; - on the next try, remove the first and second "Received:" headers; - on the next try, remove the first, second, and third "Received:" header; - ... etc. Eventually you will get the spam reporting address as the outside server. On mine, there were three outlook.com "Received:" headers, followed by an "Authentication-Results:" header. By removing those first three "Received:" headers, I was able to get to the source of my sample email. Then I carefully read the text of that suspected spam and determined that an email from my home account with the word "test" on the subject line was possibly not spam. So after all that effort, I didn't even report it. On my version of "Outlook 365" running through an office server, it's just a matter of stripping the first three "Received:" headers.
