    I did not get an email notification of this reply. 

    Depending on the email used with the forum and with your reporting account, this could be a different problem (similar but different).

    I guess I did not understand that you have been sending spam from you work email and NOW that has stopped working.  Actually this could be easier to fix. Knowing when things stopped working and having a better chance of responsive IT department, resolution should be possible.

    I use gmail, so check in spam?

    I am forwarding emails I get at work from my work email.  It's never been a problem.

    I forgot to mention that they are not appearing as unfiled reports when I log in to Spamcop. 

    Thanks for the additional information.  I believe that points to the problem.  If you are able to send spam from work (NOT a gmail account) and get email from SpamCop with links to finish reporting the spam; The problem is not with your SpamCop reporting Account.

    If I read correctly, when you try to submit spam FROM your gmail account the spam does not appear as "unfiled" in you SpamCop account(?)  That would mean your email from you gmail account is not reaching SpamCop.  Assuming your email(s) are properly addressed, there is a strong possibility that your outgoing email to spamCop is being blocked by gmail because they "see" the word spam or because of the spammy content of the attachment.

    As dumb as it sounds some ISPs will let spam into your inbox but block the same spam out going from your account. Somethings to check:

    1.  Check to make sure that the 16-character private submit spamcop email address is correct.

    2.  Submit a benign, non-spam, email to spamcop  just to see if it goes through. - If it gets there, CANX - DO NOT report.

    This testing will help you talk to gmail about why your emails, with attachments, to SpamCop are being blocked.

  3. The copy of the email from spamcop was deleted because:

    Quote
    
     Do not post this email in public.  It contains confidential information related to the security of your SpamCop account.

    As you may imagine, spammers and other bad actors do cruse this forum.  Your private, 16 digit reporting code used to identify your account is included in several places.

    I think you may not be considering the interaction of your domain/IP, and your host name & their domains/IP.  The interplay of your email MX record, and the internal processing by your host  on their domains and subdomains, may result in unexpected entries in you mailhost file.  Erroring on the side of caution, the purpose of the mailhost information is to be sure NO spam reports will be sent to any managers associated with your email system.  This would include managers associated with the domain names, subdomains and IP addresses identified in the header of the test email.

  4. Your mailhost records are outside the forum and I do not have access/visibility  to them.  For some reason the file you tried to attach is not/no longer available.

    Have you looked up the domain names/IP addresses to identify their relationship to your email host?  Does your email provider utilize aspects of the cloud?

    Looking at your questions from the other end, does your reporting of spam from the new mailbox work correctly - i.e. the parser does not send reports to your email host,?

  5. Take a look at the header of the email sent from spamcop to the email address you wanted to add.  You can step through the same process that the mailhost application does.  Starting at the top (the last Received: entry -- or the email final deliver) and work down the header.  You should see the host you are questioning as part of that path of delivery.

    I do not think that the old register (ranaur,net) would cause an issue.  The mailhost process is an exclusion process.  What I mean is, that the host listed in your mailhost are excluded from being reported as part of the path to source of spam.

  6. Thanks for the information. The tracking URI others suggested would have given others access to the information you provided above AND allowed visibility to the actions by the parser.

    I would think that a talk with your email service provider is in order. As you noted the delays reflected by the top three Receive entries is, I think, excessive.  Have you brought this to your ISP's attention?  They may not be aware of the delay, nor the consequences.  It is likely that none of their other customers report spam and care about the delay in receiving spam.  I am amused by the server name: front26-smtp-dirty.sfrmc.priv.atos.fr  Does you other email go through this server? Or only spam?

    I would not want to assign motive to the delay in receiving spam. As I said, your provider my not be aware of the delay caused by the spam filtering/ email Authentication process.

    For your reference the tracking URL can be found a the top of the reporting screen

  7. Glad to see all is still working in the rest of the world.  The other night the town lost power for about an hour, killing cell service and the internet. I assume the power bump killed the fiber optic equipment - as a single thread out of town.

    All is back after 28 hours. My first call this morning (08:30!!) was a robo call. There was also a text asking to conserve water next 48 hours while the system recovers from a fire in town.  Yes, I live here by choice. Things above, keep down the local crowds and I wontn't have to move to  higher ground due to sea rise.  Although global warming will have its effect.

    Happy holidays to all.

  8. There is no limit.  I report hundreds a day.  Day before yesterday I reported over 450.

    Having used Thunderbird for years and never had, or heard of, an issue with headers, I do believe the issue is the processing of your email provider.

    On the other hand, No one else using the same email provider is reporting the same problem.

    I don't remember, have you used <ctrl>U to look at the header of spam that fail to see if the Received: lines are there before you forward them?

    The reason for looking is a "divide and conquer" troubleshooting.  "We" know the receive lines need to be in the header to arrive at your email provider from outside. If we can eliminate your system/how you report that will help localize where the problem is occurring.

    s Thunderbird still in development?

    Well yes, currently version 68.x   Things would be easy enough to check <ctrl>U will display the full content and header received.  By looking at a "good" email from a known source (a friend, your bank...) would tell the story.

    TB has been one of the easiest to send reports from for a really long time.

  10. An auto response to a spam report can be frustrating.

    In addition to the spam report that resulted in this (these) auto replies, the offending IP may have been added to the blocklist which is used directly and indirectly by others to filter ALL email from this source.

    You can check the IP by clicking on the <Statistics> tab on the SpamCop.net website.

    Getting any response from an ISP is a step up

    something must have changed this last 3-4 weeks since you've been having trouble reporting.

    Hotmail, gmail, outlook have been known to make changes, without notice or acknowledgement. Not sure why others have not reported similar issues.

    Good research @RobiBue
