I've been getting a lot of these, with the following errors from Spamcop: No blank line delineating headers from body - abort No source IP address found, cannot proceed. No body text provided, check format of submission. spam must have body text https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6894197401z117b29de334a37b59172c9b689618b73z Any thoughts?

I have a Hotmail account that I use for unimportant things--i.e., where I am required to create an account in order to access a service but I know I don't ever want to get mail from them. So, of course, I get a lot of spam on that account. One big host offender is salesforce.com. Of course, the reports go to abuse#salesforce.com@devnull.spamcop.net Before reading here and realizing that reports sent to abuse@saleforce.com just went into a black hole, I was forwarding messages to them as attachments. I'd done so with some regularity. When I did so the other day I got a server error from outlook.com; thinking there was a glitch I tried again. Same problem. I checked my settings and tried a third time, and this time I received an email from Outlook member services--addressed to me, using the name I gave for my account profile, saying "We noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook.com account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked your account. ... Someone may have used your account to send out a lot of junk emails or something else that violates our Terms of Service." I checked through the email, looking at every embedded link and they all seemed legit--the "verify your account" link was https://account.live.com/reputationcheck?ru=https://outlook.live.com/owa/ I'm no expert but that looks valid, and indeed I couldn't otherwise log into my account. So... Microsoft has no problem delivering Salesforce spam to me (by the busload) but nabs me for reporting it.

Yes, but my request/suggestion was an option to automatically truncate such messages submitted via the website.

I periodically get this dialog window. I was wondering if our user preferences could get an option to truncate by default. How often do people here hit "cancel," anyway? If we had a way to set Truncate as a default option, reporting would have one less step.

I've been getting a load of these from the same sender; is there a way I can get an abuse address so I can attempt to forward the emails myself, with the thought that me maybe contacting them directly might get some results?

Not sure what you mean. Below is the email I received. Many times now, I have clicked on the first link (after "Please return this complete email, preserving full headers and the special tracking codes below. Visit this address:") and copied/pasted the full headers and body of that email into the field there. When I do so, I get the message "Test email processed succesfully. Please re-visit the mailhost menu and make sure you have registered mailhosts for all your email addresses." etc. And when I go back to the mailhost menu, the address that i was just told was processed successfully is not there. I have also forwarded (as an attachment) to the address under "Alternately...." Also no change.

I've repeatedly tried to add an address (a verizon.net account, administered by AOL). The test email is sent through mx-aol.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net. I copy/past the whole email (header and body) to the field in the link provided, and am then told "Test email processed successfully." But the mailhost never appears on the Mailhosts page. What's going on? I've tried this a half-dozen times as well as forwarding the email instead of using the form.
