    Spamcop not x'ing my domain name

    in SpamCop Reporting Help

    Posted

    Received today a couple of UCE/spam - identical content apart from the sender's name.

    Typical content is, 

    Hi,

My name is Tom Roberts and I am a website designer specialist.

I'm looking at your current website: www.xxxx.com and I'm wondering if you've thought about updating?

    - Goes on to explain the services on offer. I do not want to update my site - especially as I'm assuming the next request will be to forward my site's FTP details to the "helpful" website designer specialist. My concern is that Spamcop did not blank my website address. It's the same domain as my email address, and Spamcop is usually good at recognising that string and x-ing it. I've reported the UCEs via Spamcop, but had to manually deselect sending reports to my website hosting company. I'd post a report id here, but won't because the message body includes the plain text domain name....

    Should I expect Spamcop to anonymise my domain name if it appears in the body of the spammer's email?

    "Hotmail" spam reporting stopped?

    For the past few weeks I've been receiving a couple of spams a day to my Hotmail account. All have a "PDF" payload attachment (usually with a nonsense name) and all come from garbagename(AT)hotmail.com.

    I've reported them all, with spamcop sending reports to danorm(AT)hotmail.com.

    Today's second arrival followed exactly the same format, except that spamcop wouldn't report it (to danorm or anyone else). Tracking link above shows the result of my attempt.

    Doubtlessly tomorrow I'll have another couple to report, so I'll discover whether this was a one-off, or the new-normal. Has anyone else here suddenly been receiving spam from garbage hotmail accounts lately?

     

    no TLS?

    For information;

    Firefox now warns whenever I try to go to forum pages.

    "Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for forum.spamcop.net. The certificate is only valid for the following names: cloudfront.net, *.cloudfront.net
     
    Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN"

     

    - Clicking through the warnings and proceeding regardless will open the forum pages.

    Spamcop no longer works with Outlook/Exchange

    corrected typo

    Have you looked at the second pinned topic "Outlook received header problem" in the list above?

    Outlook now routinely rearranges the header lines when forwarding, so if you are running Outlook you *may not* forward your spams as an attachment for processing.

    Does this apply to your situation?

    If not - have you registered your mailhosts?

    - Also, is that bmorris address live? If so you'd be advised not to advertise it. I'd have edited it out for you if I knew how to do that...

    IPv6 Routing Support

    These are becoming a pain.

    As received, this spam won't parse;

    http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z5091666720z9...51babf12dce25az

    " Unable to process message. IPv6 addresses are not supported.

    No source IP address found, cannot proceed."

    But if I delete the apparently spurious ([::ffff:109.233.120.42]) from the 4th "Received" line the message will parse. See

    http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z5091669646zd...8bda9fc6d512c7z

    Note, I did not send the tampered report, this spam simply went unreported.
