SpamCop resolved this to

However, a simple whois lookup of 717777.net at whois.domaintools.com turned up

Domain Name: 717777.net
Registry Domain ID: 
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.ename.com
Registrar URL: http://www.ename.net
Updated Date: 2014-04-07 T19:28:03Z
Creation Date: 2014-04-07 T19:28:03Z
Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2015-04-07 T19:28:03Z
Registrar: eName Technology Co.,Ltd.
Registrar IANA ID: 1331
Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse[at]ename.com
Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +86.4000044400
Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited
Registry Registrant ID:
.
.
.

So, why didn't SC include abuse[at]ename.com as a reporting address? Note that 717777.net <--> 192.157.244.142 has matching A and PTR records. Is there something I'm not seeing that makes this reporting address invalid?

Hi, jhg,
&nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp When I enter 192.157.244.142 into the SC spam parser form at www.spamcop.net, SC replies:

The URLs in the spam are www.717777.net, not 717777.net. Usually sites will have the same IP address whether or not the www. is included in the URL, but in this case DNS lookups (from my desktop machine, at least) show a difference:

$ host 717777.net
717777.net has address 192.157.244.142
$ host www.717777.net
www.717777.net has address 54.148.119.114

And ARIN whois reports 54.148.119.114 as being an Amazon EC2 address, hence why SpamCop is wanting to send the reports for the site to Amazon.

As for the abuse[at]ename.com address, that's listed in the domain name whois records as an abuse contact for the domain registrar who are providing the domain registration for 717777.net. AFAIK, SpamCop doesn't look at domain name whois records when trying to identify the reporting contacts - the parser does a DNS lookup and then uses the contacts from the IP address whois records.

Thanks AJR, you've answered your own question then? Marking this "Resolved".

Incidentally I've broken those links you posted (copied and pasted) for the www.717777.net/ URI. No doubt it was taken down by the time you posted but, since it is/was a spam "payload", best not to re-publicize it, eh? Especially not here. Using a Tracking URL is the best way to discuss "your" spam - that avoids all sorts of actual and potential problems. Please keep in mind "next time".
