  1. The feature you mentioned, although titled "Report History", is more properly called the "View recent reports" feature, which can be accessed via the "View recent reports" Link on the "Past Reports" Tab, or directly via http://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showhistory, http://members.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showhistory, or http://mailsc.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showhistory (depending on which site you're using). My account is experiencing the same symptom, in that only the first page shows up, and there is no link available for viewing subsequent pages (of older Reports). More specifically, there is absolutely nothing but a newline between the last 'No reports filed</div>' and '<div id="footer">'. I have just emailed a SpamCop Admin via service[at]admin.spamcop.net to look into this issue for us.

  2. Just for fun, I put that address in the parsing window and got:

    ALL Geocities URLs have extreme trouble parsing, i.e. I haven't seen one work first time yet, and the average number of reloads (it varies) before SpamCop actually does something with the URL seems to be going up.  this is very unfortunate, because it would seem that at least one prolific spammer is using Geocities as his host of choice.

    HOWEVER, "ca.geocities.com" parses first time both times I tried it.  If anyone is looking into this bug, that might be a clue.

    I put "http://" in front of it ("ca.geocities.com/jaynell21539jason35054/"), as in http://www.spamcop.net/sc?track=http%3A%2F...39jason35054%2F.

    that's not many characters:

    spam[at]uce.gov AskDOJ[at]usdoj.gov webcomplaints[at]ora.fda.gov enforcement[at]sec.gov

    No, it's not. I have webcomplaints[at]ora.fda.gov in "Personal copies of outgoing reports" and "otcfraud[at]cder.fda.gov ct-abuse[at]abuse.sprint.net spam[at]UCE.GOV JEFF[at]EXAMPLE.COM level3[at]admin.spamcop.net" in "Public standard report recipients", giving me a choice of five.
  4. I have been getting a lot of spam lately advertising sites hosted on geocities in various countries. For some reason spamcop's parser usually doesn't pick up on these. I've been reporting them manually, since Yahoo will address the problem and discontinue the sites when it gets a report, but it would be nice to be able to do it via one step with Spamcop.

    40739[/snapback]

    Yes, it would be nice. I have found the formula for the addresses to be cc-geo-abuse[at]yahoo-inc.com, where cc is the country code; in this case, for country code es, the address would be es-geo-abuse[at]yahoo-inc.com.
  5. Please help us to help you figure out why your email message (either to you or from you) was blocked. Specifically, please post the complete email message indicating the blockage, which would usually include the IP Address that was blocked, the IP Address of the server doing the blocking, the domain the sender was trying to send to, and the domain the sender was trying to send from, as well as any other IP Addresses being used by other systems that handled the message (either in the headers of the block message or in the headers of the message that was blocked). We don't need the left side (user portion) of either email address, just the right side (domain portion). Also, please see Why am I Blocked?. Thanks!

  6. SpamCop's named Servers forum.spamcop.net, news.spamcop.net, webmail.spamcop.net, mail.spamcop.net, pop.spamcop.net, and imap.spamcop.net are run by JT's Corporate Email Services. The above named Servers, along with alpha.cesmail.net and others, are colocated at the e^deltacom state of the art 376,000 sq. ft. Atlanta data center facility in Suwanee, Georgia, USA (a suburb about 31.6 miles and 43 minutes Northeast of downtown Atlanta). e^deltacom was sold by ITC^DeltaCom to the Quality Group of Companies and renamed Quality Technology Services on September 1st of this year. Historically, very early Tuesday morning (EST) maintenance by e^deltacom has accounted for 99% of the unavailability of the above named Servers, but Quality Technology Services has not posted a publicly-accessible maintenance schedule.

  7. This Forum is here to help those who have had their e-mail blocked based on use of the SCBL (SpamCop Blocking List Service, SpamCop BlockList, SpamCopDNSBL, or just the blocklist) by the receiving ISP, as well as those ISPs that use the SCBL.

    For those of you who have had your email blocked, please understand that you need to help us to help you. To that end, if you are not sure of what IP Address is being blocked, please post the entire email (including the Headers, especially the Received Header Lines) containing the entire error/blocking message (including the Headers, especially the Received Header Lines). You may munge the left side of every email address (before the [at]-sign) and the body, but please don't munge IP Addresses, server names, and the right side of any email address (after the [at]-sign). We suggest that you read the following from the SpamCop FAQ:

    If there is anything in the FAQ that you do not understand, please return here to post questions and we shall try to help you.

    For those ISPs that use the SCBL, please note the important items derived from How do I configure my mailserver to reject mail based on the blocklist? and its subfaqs:

    • If you can, please don't block outright, instead please filter and allow the use of whitelists to give your users more choice.
    • If you must block, please use an informative string in your block message like "Email from your IP Address [IP Address] blocked, see http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?[IP Address] for details".

    Thank you for your patience as we work together to limit spam email and extend the usefulness and usability of wanted email.

  8. Following these guidelines should make it easier for you to get the help you need (and easier for us to help you).

    Search first

    It is very likely that your question has already been asked and answered, searching can get you the solution you need faster than waiting for a reply. Also, don't forget to check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists!

    Where to post?

    The Forum layout should be pretty self-explanatory when it comes where to post your question. Having problems with a bad parse result? Post in the support topic for SpamCop Reporting Help. Setting up your SpamCop filtered e-mail account confusing? Post in the SpamCop Flat-Rate Email Account Setup support forum. Want some feedback on a Blocklist issue? Try the SpamCop Blocklist Help section. There's a How to Use ... Forum, a place to get geeky, even the Lounge For general / other stuff.

    Your topic title

    After you've figured out where to post, you need to come up with a good topic title. Selecting an informative topic title will ensure the best results. Here's a common list of topic titles that you SHOULD NOT use.

    1. Help needed!

    2. Newbie problem

    3. Need some assistance

    4. Hi, Im stuck!

    5. PLEASE HELP!

    6. I have a question

    7. Very urgent

    8. This is too complicated for me

    9. PHP expert needed

    10. Looking for...

    Vague topic titles are pretty much useless, they don't provide any information about the actual problem you're having. You should be clear and concise with your title. For example, if you need help with ThunderBird, try Setting up ThunderBird instead of just "How do I...."

    The question

    This is the most important part of your topic. If you can not clearly explain what your problem is, you can't expect to get a good solution. Simply posting an error message and asking what is wrong won't do much good. Have you installed new software lately? When did the problem start? Where does it occur? Is it "your" server or your ISP's? What is the IP address of the server involved? Those are all questions you should have answered in your first post. Be sure to provide as many details as possible.

    The Details

    If it's a spam in question, do not post the spam here. Use a Tracking URL to offer a link to both the spam and the parse results. That way we're all talking about the same data.

    If it's a bounce/rejection notification, provide the critical lines of data. The IP address being rejected will be at the root of any research.

    If it's something to do with data manipulation, copying/pasting, transmittal, identify the tools in question, version numbers and Operating System can be critical to get an appropriate answer.

  9. To be clear:

    Every potential Reportee under the "Re: Forwarded spam (User defined recipient)" heading is now checked by default, despite any setting of "3rd party report default" to the contrary. On the other hand, "(Third party interested in email source)" (in most cases, "Cyveillance spam collection") DOES respect that setting. I renew my call for a User Defined Recipient Report Default section in User Defined Recipient Report Default capability.

    I have emailed SpamCop Deputies and SpamCop Admin.

  10. a new user registering today demonstrated that the posting code modification (to mung posted e-mail addresses) doesn't impact the Registration code bits at all.

    It's a good thing, too. I've seen my fair share of user-generated bad-word-laden user ids and passwords. :)
  11. I signed up with Travelocity in late 2003, using a sneakemail account. I haven't yet considered their emails spam, as they generally have fares which some would consider attractive. Rare is the month in which they email me twice. Be that as it may, you may be able to either blacklist "Travelocity[at]email.travelocity.com" without quotes, change your email address registered with them to one at sneakemail or spammotel which you can then cancel, or document your interactions with them in an RBL Nomination.

  12. This is generally a whitespace problem with the confirmation codes in Mailhost configuration emails, in that some ISPs email and webmail servers are adding whitespace they shouldn't be adding, which causes problems with both parsing and Mailhost configuration. Please make sure that you are returning the configuration emails (and submitting your spam) EXACTLY as sent. Thanks!

    Security Consideration and Warning:

    Each configuration email specifically states "Do not post this email in

    public. It contains confidential information related to the security of

    your SpamCop account." Violations will be dealt with by SpamCop Admins.
