Spamcop cannot find source IP

Recommended Posts

I just copy/paste the ipv6 into a whois, then copy/paste the resulting ipv4, replacing the ipv6 in the headers - yes it's munging, but it works and like RobieBue says, it amounts to ripping the "ipv6 disguise" off, so in my view, a legit munging. Curiously Hotmail doesn't have this problem, since it puts the ipv6 into a parenthesis that somehow,  the spamcop parser ignores, and thus parses correctly. Again, Spamcop should provide a workaround, like they did for "eudora users" - why not one for "gmail users", Spamcop?

     3.4.3.  COMMENTS

        A comment is a set of ASCII characters, which is  enclosed  in
        matching  parentheses  and which is not within a quoted-string
        The comment construct permits message originators to add  text
        which  will  be  useful  for  human readers, but which will be
        ignored by the formal semantics.  Comments should be  retained
        while  the  message  is subject to interpretation according to
        this standard.  However, comments  must  NOT  be  included  in
        other  cases,  such  as  during  protocol  exchanges with mail
        servers.

I currently modify the Gmail Received: header like so, commenting the 6to4 address with parentheses and inserting the IPv4 equivalent :

Received: by 10.2.33.9 (2002:a02:2109:0:0:0:0:0) with SMTP id e9-v6csp39361jaa;

I think this graph is quite telling: https://www.spamcop.net/spamgraph.shtml?spamyear

In mid-March, the ratio of spam reports to spam submissions dropped to about 1 to 1. In late march, the number of submissions was briefly higher than the number of reports.

Now, the ratio of reports to submissions is increasing, but both are lower than before.

I wonder if anyone who matters is watching the numbers…

The 2nd header seems to be the only troublemaker.

If this header is removed, the message parses properly.

That was only working off and on previously, Google seem to be "um and arring" now with googles/gmail update cannot even read spam in spam folder.

Something weird is going on with the parser right now involving gmail spam, even if I use the outlook/eudora workaround form spamcop is NOT finding links.

To get around this you can do this, Use the two part submission form, in Gmail open full headers, copy headers omitting the first two lines, I think copy starting from the date line and ending with omitting the last line,  paste that in, then copy body loosing the first syntax and paste that in, now if you submit Sapmcop will parse all including links..

Works about well as a watergun in a firefight.

Are you suggesting that google is not the correct abuse address or are you suggesting that the bounce of the spam report is the problem?

If you have a better email address to submit gmail/google spam reports that would be a positive addition to the anti-spam effort.  The efforts against spam  and for net neutrality need to be community efforts.

No, it's not picking up the LINKS in the message.

Please see this... I am pasting a spam I received and when I did what I had mentioned it picked the body as well

Learn to past the track which is provided at top of page before you submit. Not considered legal when one alters headers,  you are best to submit from your Gmail account to real abuse address, include full body and text I also download them and attach "original.txt" to submission.

Incredibly frustrating that you not only have to cut lines of text to make the parser work, but that it's different lines of text depending on what service the e-mail was received at.

The whole "For Gmail - hop up and down on your left leg while patting your head with your right hand and rubbing your tummy with your left hand in a counter-clockwise direction"; for Hotmail - hop up and down on your right leg while patting your head with your left hand and rubbing your tummy with your right hand in a clockwise direction" thing is just unworkable for me. 

As a result of getting constant spam in my Hotmail account over the last three months, I'm shutting it down - during the "30 day cooling of period", I'm having mail redirected from it to my Gmail account. But, the redirected spam e-mails I get there are now basically unreportable. No matter which line of text I cut as per the instructions in this thread, I either get Microsoft or Google as the source, not the actual source. That's of no use at all.

The whole attraction of SpamCop for me was that it was a simple matter of cutting-and-pasting the headers. Now it's devolved into a sort of guessing game - "Cut this line, and see what happens!".

That is the lowest priority.  Trying to stop/block the spam is the top priority.

Well, it shouldn't be. That's like plugging holes in the ceiling instead of getting the upstairs neighbour to repair the leak in his plumbing. As long as there are things to spamvertise the spam will keep coming.

 

99.9% of the spam that makes it into my inbox is not of the kind that spamvertises sites on hijacked home computers but of the kind sent by otherwise legit companies who don't have any number of free servers for hosting their site at their disposal and who consider that it's OK to spam anyone of whom they have an address on file.

 

Sadly Spamcop have become more and more lenient with the spam ISPs those companies use, refusing to send reports to what seems a growing minority (and the others including Amazon apparently couldn't care less anyway). And that too many links exploit makes it way too easy to prevent getting reports about links in your spam: just repeat your links a few times (5x seems to be enough already) and you can sleep easy.

I understand the frustration, and I do have the same point of view, although I do admit that the reason of the lowest priority is that many spammers use legit links that will clog abuse mailboxes from these legit ISPs.

as an example (although I haven't had one recently) spammers have added "terms of conduct" and similar links from 3rd party ISPs which SC will use to send reports to them.

Also, random images found on the internet either akamaized or from other providers have been used as links before (although these IIRC have been since disabled by SC)

It is a matter of a difference in philosophy. 

SpamCop's objective is to keep spam out of inboxes, directly by building a Block List to be used to filter incoming email (top priority). As a second priority SpamCop tries to send host, not the spammer, a spam Report so that a responsible ISP can take appropriate action with the source of spam.  As a third priority, the spamvertised links in the body of spam are evaluated.

KnujOn, recently folded, took another approach - they followed the money.  Their thinking was that if the profit stream is choked off the spam will stop.  KnujOn tried working with ICANN, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, to get registrars to follow established rules controlling spammer's domains, the spamverised domains and WHOIS information.

This is where intelligence should step up, where we should, at least I do, remove tick marks for the legit infringed sites before sending the complaints.

It's the IP email source that may get blocked not the site. SpamCop does not block sites.

Re-read my comment about plugging holes in your ceiling or instead plugging the hole in the plumbing somewhere above your ceiling. Or ponder the Dutch proverb "mopping with the tap open".

 

And BoZz, ++. I also untick inappropriate boxes (unless they'\re going to a SC-internal NULL address). And I have a series of optional boxes to tick or untick for recipients I configured in my preferences that correspond to the sh*t I'm currently getting.

 

But I'm getting very close to the point where I figure out how again one sends spams to SpamCop's auto-reporting address, given the increasingly apparent futility of wasting my time doing manual reports. The spammers have won anyway.

So spamcop doesn't work with with emails recieved in gmail and they're not planning to fix it at all? 

They might? Don't look good for CisCo they may just drop SpamCop?
