In the last month, I have been receiving hundreds of criminal phishing spams per day. Almost all come from Serverion. I am not a business or a sysadmin, this is just happening to my personal email address. It's taking me a massive amount of time out of my days to report these. I am at the point of seriously thinking of closing my email account, but I get my work through it so that would be a huge issue to set up a new address. In the past when I've reported spam through Spamcop, eventually it would stop, but this has been going on for weeks and does not abate, in fact it seems to be getting worse. I contacted the admin of where I have my email account, to ask them please block Serverion, but apparently they didn't. I can't block them with my local email settings, because they all appear to come from fake addresses (eg, "studydepend.co") so if I blacklist "serverion", the spam still comes through. Other than continuing to spend my hours reporting them all to Spamcop, does anyone have other thoughts on how I can make this headache stop? Below is a teeny tiny example of some which were just analysed this hour. In case there are clues in there. https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826037za4008bcb96dca874f2d9c1c6e37783c9z https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826038z0cf3b54147474608ac4151f2a77fac6dz https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826039z813fa799476c29a9ee6a10dcc2c2340az https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826040z856149abab53ddcfbd6988d03b3c3dedz https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826041z7938a2666410013d610b21f426e1bd15z https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826042z818f9997349599f2a01d068fe9c382ffz https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826043z65ceed70586c98c0f1bf67586a5c17bcz https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826044zfa07b290bdb36c2a65614277fe3438f6z https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826045z8768965612155a13f4aa284d8686bbfdz https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6735826046zfda4b7db3a24c849b328e48701faab86z

I do have the 3rd party report option, that's why I have been contemplating copying my own ISP at that point. I just wasn't sure if that was a bad idea or not; or even, if it was a violation of some policy. I guess I may just give it a try. As long as it's not breaking a rule, what can it hurt?!

This last 2 weeks has been spam hell for me. Literally at least 30 spams a day (and I'm just a guy with an email address, I'm not a business). I can barely keep up with sending in the reports before more come in. Obviously my cut-rate ISP has turned off their filter or something. And I'm not just talking about spam that tries to sell you something you don't want, I mean the type that wants you to click a link and enter a credit card. Anyway, I was thinking that when I send the spam reports to the spammer's ISPs (chinanet, ru, and other criminal providers who seemingly don't lift a finger to stop the activity), could I also copy my own ISP -- to give them a taste of exactly how badly they're doing in letting all this crap seep through to their customers? My thinking is that they might then bestir themselves to use the Spamcop list. But I wanted your opinion on whether this would be a huge no-no. I don't want to harm Spamcop in any way. So please let me know if this would be ok for me to do. Thanks.
