knightshade,

Thanks for your help: when you say that namecheap doesn't fit in that category, do you mean that in your experience, they're reputable?

Whilst I have had my issues with them, yeah, I'd have to say that I've found them to be reputable.

BTW, check your PMs - I sent you a couple of possible things to try,

knightshade,

Thanks. But how do you advise them of the (actually your) address that they're abusing without telling them what it is?

(If you see what I mean.)

Of course they do already have the address they're spamming because… they're spamming you/me.

If I thought name cheap were reputable, I'd call them and tell them to stop it. But I just don't trust them.

have today filed BBB and District Attorney complaints.

I understand your point - there's plenty of places I won't submit direct complaints to because they appear too dodgy - that's where spamcop fits in - however, IMHO and going by my own experiences, namecheap doesn't fit in that category.

Thanks, knightshade; I'm reluctant to supply any of these ******'s with an email address which they can use against me.

Last week I did get (via SC, thank you!) three acknowledgements from namecheap that they were "looking into it".

But the muck keeps on coming from them.

namecheap's site looks so convincing: it's tempting to approach them 'person to person' (so to speak) and open a dialog. But I don't want to waste my time :-(

If you've got a yahoo mail account, you can set up 'disposable' email addresses that can be handy for such situations - I've used one of these to make complaints directly to namecheap/enom & (so far) it's never been targeted for any additional abuse. The moment it does ever get targeted, I can blow it away & move on to a fresh disposable address,

David,

> I'm a customer of NameCheap and found them to be both responsive and responsible. I'll need to see some very convincing evidence to think otherwise.

Regrettably, see http://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showhistory;slice=issueid;val=557107224

That's about 10% of it :-(

Sorry…

Interesting... the 2 subdomain URLs in those spams are both hosted at a namecheap IP, but the domain itself is hosted at softlayer. The registrar for the domain also appears to be namecheap (acting as a reseller for enom), according to enom.com/whois/default.aspx - it may be worth making a spam complaint outside of spamcop to the abuse emails for both enom & namecheap, noting in it that namecheap is acting both as hoster & registrar (and also noting the sheer volume of spam you're receiving related to that domain!).

[[Resolved] Forwarding as attachment from New Yahoo]

Shift-Alt-F was working for me until yesterday, now suddenly today it simply brings up a normal forwarding window and puts the message "in-Line". Has anyone else experienced this? I tried it on 2 different browsers just to be sure.

Yup, something appears to be changing at Yahoo's end - shift-alt-f was working earlier today, but now I also get the regular fowarding window (which doesn't keep the spam intact).
