yourbuddy Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 SpamCop doesn't seem to care about the individuals that lose email service. They like to "carpet bomb" and forget about the "collateral damage". If they could use the "Bush Doctrine" of "pre-emptive strikes", they likely would.

petzl Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 SpamCop doesn't seem to care about the individuals that lose email service. They like to "carpet bomb" and forget about the "collateral damage". If they could use the "Bush Doctrine" of "pre-emptive strikes", they likely would. SpamCop Mail uses the alleged "blocklists" to sort email into inbox and probable spam folder. None of these lists are actually anything but a "sortlist" nothing is bounced Out of interest try making a 8 Alphanumeric Hotmail throwaway address and send an email to a comcast user Then watch comcast mail bomb that account with spam! This is all Comcast presently are doing all over the planet out of a 100 emails from Comcast all 100 are spam. Often pornographic, bank fraud, software piracy, etc. I for one do not wish to see this and SpamCop puts with absolute accuracy for me in a folder to be checked and if need be automatically reported (ComCast are ignoring these reports) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 SpamCop doesn't seem to care Try again ... this thread deals with SPEWS .. and the action SPEWS has taken in only seen by users of ISPs that use SPEWS in their spam blocking/tagging/handling arsenal.

yourbuddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yes, SpamCop Fans - good nitpicking, but the observation stands. You're all aware (of course) that "fan" is short for "fanatic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Actually, spamcop does not "carpet bomb". It picks very specific "targets of interest", those which have been reported as recently sending spam, and disables that target for a short time. It is more analogous to jamming the radio transmission of an enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourbuddy Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 And so does SpamCop - to ISP clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 And so does SpamCop - to ISP clients. SpamCop sends email to people responsible for IP Address Ranges containing IP Addresses which perpetrate or facilitate spamming activities (as registered by those people with SpamCop or their IP Registrar), to domain abuse contacts (as registered with abuse.net), and to postmaster and abuse addresses (as specified in Internet Standards 3 and 11 and Requests For Comment 822, 1123, 2142, and 2821). SpamCop does not send email indiscriminately to "ISP clients." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourbuddy Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hard of reading are you .. SpamCop "cuts off" innocent users by "perhaps legitimately" listing the ISP. This is all very gratifying ... Just one response from me, and I get my next "yourbuddy trolling" number. Dealing with SpamCop fanatics ... More fun than watching George W. trying to be coherent.
