piscator Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 My authorization codes have recently been working for only one or reports, then I get a message that the code is no longer valid: Reports have already been sent. No userid found Your authorization code is invalid. Please obtain a new authorization code. I re-do the code, but it continues to last for only one or two reports, then I get the same error message. Does anyone know the reason for this? It is quite frustrating. I never had any problems like this until the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 New code also means a new cookie is needed to go along with it ... you need to delete existing SpamCop cookies, then start anew with the most recent authorization code ... as you did not specify, all this is premised on you using a "free" account ..

piscator Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 thanks wazoo...yes, I'm a free spamcop user; I wouldn't mind paying, but I guess I can't navigate the site enough to find out how to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 If the cookie thing works for you, at the web page for pasting in your spam, there's an "upgrade your account" notice at the top of that screen that will take to to an easy way to spend your money <g> ...... oh yeah, and support a geat cause!

piscator Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 I still have the issue that my authorization code becomes invalid after one or two reports of spam. Can anyone tell me why this happens? It is frustrating; I wouldn't mind having a paid account, but I wouldn't want this to continue happening.

This is a situation you should discuss with "service at admin.spamcop.net". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 ok, here's the next possible thing .. how are you "submitting" your spam .. via the web-page paste-it-in form or are you doing it via the "quick" submittal via e-mail? Was thinking that if you're submitting it via e-mail, and your ISP isn't liking the way the folllow-up note is coming to you, that note is getting bounced, thus getting your SpamCop account whacked ...??? (ruling out a mistake in you inputting your e-mail address as you say you get new codes) If it's via the paste-it-in-box, are you sure of what you're reporting? You may be reporting something against the rules, resulting in an output to "admin" (which recently became a bit more automated), and this is why you only get one or two chances. If neither of the above sticks out, then follow JeffG's advice and see what they tell you ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscator Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm using the "paste-in" box; I have redone the same spam after I have gotten a new authorization code, and it has gone through....... I did get mail from service at spamcop, so I'll try what they say. Thanks everyone...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
