Same ISP has indicated spam will cease -- weekly

Am trying to find out is why I receive WEEKLY spams from IP 123.58.178.204 : zyxu[at]corp.netease.com -- but when I report them I get the SpamCop message that "ISP has indicated spam will cease; ISP has resolved this issue....' This has happened EVERY week for two months -- and when I go to check the IP on Senderbase, the IP has been removed from the blacklist. So, I continue to get spammed every week, but no long-term blacklisting seems to occur. Can anyone explain why this cyclic phenomenon occurs?

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks, Don.What I don't understand is that

1) I receive (Chinese) multiple spams from this exact same IP EVERY Friday (IP 123.58.178.204 : zyxu[at]corp.netease.com)

2) it gets blacklisted

3) then gets quickly removed with a message: "ISP has indicated spam will cease; ISP has resolved this issue....'

4) but the spam does not cease, because I will receive more Chinese spams from the same IP on the following Friday.

So, in conclusion, the spams do not cease, yet they get removed from the blocklist in less than 12 hours.

Could you help me understand why spam continue weekly even though SpamCop indicates "spam will cease".

Thanks.

Regards,

Jim Odell

By SpamCop's time-scale that's perfectly normal. The SCBL is VERY dynamic, quick to list and quick to de-list. A whole week later might as well be a year later. The spam has indeed ceased: for a week! This is a 'by-design' feature of the SCBL. Try using extra lists, less-forgiving ones. There are many lists with many different algorithms and rules. SC aims to list very soon after a spew starts and delist soon after it stops. An IP sending spam spews once a week will repeatedly list and de-list. That's not a problem, that's exactly how it is designed to work.

Come to think of it, why not put the IP on your own personal blacklistt and have done?

Thanks, Derek, for helping me understand better: the inner workings of SC.
