DrInfoman Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi....first time here... In an effort to save some time, I have tried to forward spam using my unique "SUBMIT" address given by spamcop.net. Every time I do this, it is returned "with errors" (no explanation of errors, though). SEEMS easy enough, but perhaps I am doing something wrong. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks... Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi Andy, Sounds like the sort of thing that happens when you submit your spam "inline" instead of as an attachment. If that's not enough to go on (or isn't applicable), try using the search box at the top of these forum pages - the phrase "with errors" as a search term - or any other unique phrase from the messages/results you are seeing - might help point you to previous discussions which could contain the answer (ones prefaced "Resolved" are probably your best bet). If that helps, coming back with the solution would be appreciated. If it doesn't help, a Tracking URL in your next post will help home in on the precise problem. Looking forward to hearing more from you, whichever result. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpamCopAdmin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The error email tells the whole tale. It shows you exactly what you submitted. If you will EMAIL a copy of the error email to me, I will be happy to explain. EMAIL IT to me at: service[at]spamcop.net - Don D'Minion - SpamCop Admin - - service[at]admin.spamcop.net - .

DrInfoman Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks for the input, guys... I think in the interim I figured out what I wasn't doing. I was forwarding the spam AS IS. When I added the email headers, THAT took - was sent a link for each to complete the spam submission at the website. Does that sound about right?

Wazoo Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I was forwarding the spam AS IS. When I added the email headers, THAT took - was sent a link for each to complete the spam submission at the website. Does that sound about right? Not sure. The "added headers" needs some kind of definition. At this time, I'm of the thought that OE6 Secure handling of e-mail, Why Forward won't work might be worth a look, even with the assumption that OE6 isn't the e-mail client in question. There is a whole section on "how to ..."" stuff in the single-page-access-expanded version of the SpamCop FAQ and the SpamCop Wiki both found via links at the top of this page.

Farelf Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 ...I was forwarding the spam AS IS. When I added the email headers, THAT took - was sent a link for each to complete the spam submission at the website. ...Yes, you need the full unaltered headers to be present in the forwarded spam attachments - not just the abridged version(s) showing in the typical email client. Even "full" or "all" headers viewed when reading the email are typically incomplete and/or in "adjusted" order - and you don't really want to be reading spam (there can be web bugs or worse in them). Subject to Wazoo's pointers about sources of additional guidance/information - which run through those headers and safety/security considerations and more - and Don's offer to have a look, you could well have it sorted out. But it isn't yet certain from the public information. Why don't you post a tracking URL for us to look at (or email one to Don if you would prefer to keep it out of public gaze at this stage)? Don's kind offer initially to what amounts to/could end up as a tutorial isn't to be sneezed at IMO - he knows about all that can be known about it and, as a SC staff member, has all necessary access and facilities. But to assist others starting in the same boat as yourself, it would be great if you could keep us appraised of your progress whichever way you proceed.

DrInfoman Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 But to assist others starting in the same boat as yourself, it would be great if you could keep us appraised of your progress whichever way you proceed. Thanks...I will do that later on today. What's happening is that the majority (not all, but about 70% or so) of the forwarded spam I submit show "NO HEADER ID / INCOMPLETE HEADERS" when I click the link from the email sent to me that it was accepted. I can't see any difference from the ones that go through submission fine vs. the ones that don't, so I will post here as soon as it happens again - which should be very shortly today.

turetzsr Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi, Andy, <snip> I copy / pasted the full email headers on top of the actual spam email and forwarded / submitted to SPAMCOP... <snip> ...For future reference: please note that the headers that you included immediately following this part of your post (as well as further down in your post) were formatted in such a way as to make them almost impossible for us to use, because indentations are removed by most browsers and/ or the HTML rendering engine. Your inclusion (later) of the Tracking URL was sufficient. Thanks! <g>Here is your TRACKING URL - it may be saved for future reference: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z5065902296z3...73d2f68e82cdbdz <snip> ...Looking at this and clicking on the "View entire message" link that appears, it seems that somehow the header lines were interspersed with extra blank lines. The first blank line following the first header line tells the SpamCop parser that the header lines have ended and what follows is the body of the spam. Could you please review what you are actually sending to ensure that it is not you that is introducing the line feeds? For example, I often find that when I copy and paste I wind up with extraneous blank lines, whereas if I first paste into MS Notepad and remove all extraneous blank lines (if you do this, please be sure to leave a blank line between the headers and the first line of the body of the spam), then copy and paste, I get the right result. If not, then I would suggest you take up Don D'Minion's offer, above 78305[/snapback]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
