Hi

I am getting a huge number of spam (exactly the same message) not being filtered from no-reply999[at]job.com and after I report it I get it again from a bunch of my own email addresses:

Why are all these not being stopped? They're pretty much the same content by 20 per day.

As a Tracking URL was not provided, there's a question of whether what you copied and pasted includes 'everything' .... The phrase tagged in red above suggests that you've whitelisted your own addresses, but that would normally also be shown within the headers.

If you put job.com on your SpamCop blacklist, the filters will catch those spams.

Also, make sure that your own email addresses are not on your SpamCop whitelist. And, if you don't send mail to yourself regularly, it would ge a good idea to put your own email addresses on your blacklist, too.

OK Thanks

I've blacklisted job.com as well as a bunch of my own email addresses (postmaster[at], info[at], bookings[at] etc etc) and we'll see how we go.

As to whitelisting my own names, yes I found 2 of them whitelisted and removed them.

Thanks

The whitelisting is the most likely reason you were getting stuff that should have been caught. You'll want to keep a close eye on your trapped spam now that you have blacklisted some of your own addresses to ensure you don't end up reporting legitimate Emails
