Spammers are not only annoying, they tend to be stupid. I've even had one (can't remember which provider the original email was traced back to) where the sender claimed to be Donald Duck. I couldn't resist having a little bit of fun with them.......
There's a humorous post on how stupid they are in the Lounge section of the forum.

I get the occasional email from ovh.net and generally report it. Even if they don't respond to our satisfaction to reports, the data provided will still help Spamcop maintain its blacklist.

I started doing that too for every amazonAWS spam.
Good suggestion, I might start doing that too.

And, anyone who's game
may be able to answer:
if the answer's "yes"; why parsing the entire source data would result in different [Reports sent to] distributions?

as opposed to parsing modified source data [Reports sent to] distributions

Thanks in advance!
What I'm seeing is that the modification(s) still seem to be necessary.

Well they have the password and name is correct but last millennium one and were on adsl always used vrus scanner
Thr information seem to of been scammed from SpamCop early days probably from junked computers
One or two of the dodgy emails I've had seem to have their origins the days before my provider moved away from Yahoo, who had had a couple of data breaches. The password was correct but an old one. I'd already seen evidence that something was a bit "off" and had changed my password as a precaution, prior to receiving claims that my account had been hacked. More recent efforts I've seen in my inbox have been of a slightly different character, and would probably warrant a separate thread.
I'd suggest, at the very minimum, a change of password a.s.a.p. for people who get one of these "your account has been hacked" emails, or any other evidence that something's not quite right.

Merry Christmas
Had one of those (or was it Japanese?) a few weeks back. It could be taken as evidence that spammers are stupid.

I haven't bothered looking too closely for a pattern in the similar emails I've received, but have noticed that the ones I've reported tend to get tracked back to different ip addresses.

That's a fairly typical example of some I've received, mostly for one particular email address which, because it's little more than a redirect on a server, doesn't actually have an associated mailbox.

Editing it how? Changing it Receive line to X-Received? For Gmail i just delete the Receive line and Spamcop can parse it otherwise it can't.
Instead of forwarding the spam as an attachment to "my" reporting adddres, I use the "view source" option of whichever email client, copy it to the submission form on the reporting page, and change the "Received" to "X-Received" before clicking "submit"
-
It's a known issue. Some remove the "broken" ipv6 Received header. In the interests of preserving all the information available, I submit the spam manually, editing it read X-Received. A similar approach is sometimes helpful with emails arriving at Gmail accounts
-
The only one I recall receiving that mentioned a password had one which wouldn't have worked. A few months earlier I had noticed that something was a bit off, and had taken the precaution of changing my password.
-
I've received one or two similar emails. I'd go with the advice previously given, i.e. report them, and send them to the circular filing system (delete them).
-
Most of the spam I receive at my hotmail/outlook accounts gets flagged for reporting to report_spam@..... as well.
There are a couple of options. If you've done the "add fuel to your account" thing you might want to consider looking for the abuse address for the apparent sending server/device, and adding that as a user defined report.
-
Jumping in relatively late into this discussion, I've had Google block my attempts to submit reports from time to time too. My ISP does it as well. One workaround I use is to send the reports and submissions from an email account that I'm paying a little extra money for that lets me whitelist recipients. It's not perfect, but I have seen a significant improvement.

@nhraj700
Confirmed, I received a similar email.
-
If you're forwarding the email to your spamcop reporting address, you need to forward it as an attachment.
-
#metoo - I sometimes have unwanted email arrive at my outlook email account that apparently arrives from yahoo or google, yet the parser decides to use the MSN reporting address. It's annoying having to do so, but when I spot such an email, I uncheck the report to hotmail, and fill in an appropriate abuse address for user submitted reports.
-
Good luck getting this sorted out.
I'm mildly disappointed that the parser detected a problem with the chain of received headers, it would have been nice for Spark NZ (who "own" the xtra.co.nz domain) to have another prod to sort out their email system.

Almost there, but not quite. Most of us won't be able to view those reports. The tracking URL that's more useful to the rest of us typically appears below this:

Here is your TRACKING URL - it may be saved for future reference: -
The community who regularly contribute to this forum is made up of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds. Some of us (myself included) live outside of the USA, and have a different set of legal and cultural considerations to bring to any discussions. One thing we have in common is a dislike of unwanted email. It's not always easy to effectively deal with the "spam" issue when the people who receive the reports sent on behalf of Spamcop users don't seem to care.
-
If your provider changes some of its "behind the scenes" stuff, it will be a good idea to log in to your spamcop reporting account, click on the "mailhosts" menu tab, scroll down the page, click on the "add new hosts" link, follow the instructions, and, hey, presto, things should be sweet.

A quick look at the history leads me to believe that what OL does with the header has changed over time, so a "fix" would also have to be dynamic. That is not a workable situation. Which is to bad for your reporting.
Agreed, it's a pain. It's one of those things that seem to be sent to trip us up when using automated tools to assist the reporting process,.

A popular response I've had from places like Yahoo is "The most effective way of reporting spam is to use the report button" - I do, thanks to the Habul plugin for Thunerbird, and off go the reports to Spamcop, Knujon, and a couple of other places.

I rarely use Yahoo's Webmail these days, and I'm stoked that "View Raw Message" is coming back.

I see no current listing on the spamcop list. I think it's odd that the lookup link in the bounce messages is for spamcop, when the messages refer to rbl.websitewelcome.com, a blocklist that I know nothing about.
