Sure makes me look like an idiot to my ISP support folks who were told their headers were broken, and they followed the newly improved links to find no problem. So I guess I tell them there's no problem with their mail headers, it was just an artifact of something that the Spamcop support guy found wrong and fixed. Eh? Or is there still something wrong needing fixing? Well, I'll be back if I get more error messages. This is normal to everyone. You are not alone. Your mailhost was not working even though you had it entered correctly. Makes everyone look foolish Edited June 2, 2019 by petzl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hank Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have no idea what changed. Spamcop's Richard replied to my inquiry, with this: Quote Thanks. Added those in. I really don't like what I'm seeing from Apple with their network setup ;-( The result of whatever he fixed is: That extremely long link with the error message used to just loop back to the same reporting page where it appeared, but now it took me to an accepted spam analysis page with the usual button that let me report it. So I guess the lesson here is, when that error pops up, contact Spamcop's support line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added what in? I'm "assuming" from Richard's reply, whatever he modified was DIFFERENT to what he modified pre "Friday at 05:25 AM"? I wish he'd told us? I'm confused? I hope the: "Apple network setup changes" information is disseminated? This is annoying. I'm unsure about the "Lesson", yes, certainly SCA seem to be able to "fix" everything that can be fixed, however (I'm) reluctant to have them as 1st go to, if only for the fact, I'm not sure their skills are put to good use fixing everything. I subscribe to: "we all fix as much as we can, escalate the unfixable". It's a method that's worked... I support anyone getting help, however, if we knew what was fixed, we could guide future OPs: "go straight to square-#1, do not delay!"

He replied "that's trivial." I inquired further and he explained: "'Trivial' means not worth my time to fix and you'll never figure it out in a million years."

(Not really), rude little sod! Can G🦗H be nosy Hank & ask what you did with: Acoustic coupler, vt-100 terminal/300 baud modem? Re Richard's current fix, there's obviously a "fixable" issue, if SCF track it then the next poor buggar & the one after that and the next & so on will know, "go straight to Fleet St, don't dally.... " Without the info, well....? I don't understand why Richard would elaborate on one fix and not another? I don't understand if the current fix is "Hank SC account" specific or more general? I don't understand? "Lessons in humility, these experiences are", indeed! PeaceLove&MungBeans! G🦗H 🙏 Edited June 3, 2019 by MIG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hank Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just got another of those "mailhost" error messages; I sent it to Spamcop Richard figuring that's the best way to resolve them. I do wish he'd tell us how to fix them, since others have gotten them too in the past. But maybe by now it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Hank, 1. What was the error message exactly? Was it "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source"? Um & didn't Richard say " the problem/solution "a.local-delivery was in the mailhosts, but b.local-delivery wasn't" & didn't Richard fix that? Like, that can't be "broke" again, surely? Or is it this solution "Added those in. I really don't like what I'm seeing from Apple with their network setup", which none of us have a clue exactly what that means? 2. Yeah, (I figure you're correct), n, I think, if there's some secret solution, we send everything to Richard. 3. Totally agree! 4. Absolutely disagree - it's not just you/only you! Do you have the tracking URL please? G🦗H 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 It was the familiar "Mailhost configuration problem ...." No point requoting the tracking URL link here, as I believe that we have learned that the destination of those links will have changed as soon as Richard of Spamcop fixed the problem. He replied to my followup question -- I asked whether there is a way that I could fix these myself. The answer is no: Quote Sorry, there really isn't. When new servers are added or newly discovered, they have to be manually added to the mailhost record. And he went on to say Quote I'm not sure what's going on with Apple expansion.I guess we're lucky though. It was a real mess when AOL and Yahoo merged everything, then merged into Verizon. The MS mess of them merging everything together is going to take them another four years to get everything straight. So am happy to settle for knowing we have a guardian angel working at Spamcop who can resolve the "Mailhost configuration problem" error messages.

hank Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Sent in another one just now. Here it is for what it's worth: Quote https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6553806754z516caf56566a578de91ed31e747a0c8ez Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source Mailhost: Please correct this situation - register every email address where you receive spam No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

hank Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 And a reply after I reported it: Quote Thanks. I looked at the patterns and proactively added a bunch. Hopefully I'm ahead of them 🙂Richard So, I'm guessing the problem occurs because of mail senders adding new servers -- thinking about how when we set up a mail source we're offered a list of servers to verify, and told we can do one or more of them --- I guess after the fact the sender must be creating new servers that we don't get a chance to list for Spamcop.

hank Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 And got a couple more this morning, also reported to Richard. Is anyone else getting these messages? I guess I should ask Richard .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
