FBP will let you turn off whatever you don't like so for the few times you go it might be worth it...or not

The moving target.... Personally I have FBP turned off for the moment. I'll wait and see as FB was acting odd a few days ago.

Ahh ok I see. Do you mean their website or fb page? I see zero scam ads on either page but then I use an ad blocker on firefox. My Safari is so old the adblocker plugins don't work anymore hahaha so I saw the link i posted with zero adblocking. That page just had geo-locating ads in Thai since I live here. For FB I use firefox with adblocker and right now I see no scam ads on the FB page. To remove all doubt, just google fb purity and go to their site. This is their FB page. There is no cost for the FB Purity add-on. Unless you choose to donate to it of course. FB Purity cleans up a lot of that on FB. That said, FB changes the code of the site often making the job of the maker of FB Purity that much harder. Sometimes I turn off the FB Purity add-on as the site might get a bit wonky at times. It may be wonky on it's own or just the fact that my internet, altho fiber optic, seems to drop out regularly throughout the day. At any rate FB Purity updates the add-on frequently as needed.

Not sure what that means. All remains to be seen for now. I have my 2 accounts and won't pay anything for either lol. If it gets stupid w/ads then I'll decide then what to do. The platforms would remain viable no matter what I suppose, but people will complain. Ads were already getting annoying on twitter. There are those who take matters into their own hands like FB Purity which will block all kinds of ads etc on Facebook. Nice little ad-on for your browser if you use FB.

Added junk[AT]office365.microsoft[DOT]com & abuse[AT]messaging.microsoft[DOT]com to address book. a lot comes from this spammer for now. Used to be google 6 months or so ago where one had to use the afore mentioned lame google reporting page as SC would only report internally.

I do that for google spam that is handled internally by SC and doesn't send to them. I use the link https://support.google.com/code/contact/cloud_platform_report as per an post I read here a while back. Extra work for us but for a while there was a lot of spam from there.

I post the whole thing. The spams that are too large for SC get truncated automatically. This is the link to see a report that I just did today did not go thru AND was truncated by SC. https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6782226996zc3fb576f1f86b3e3eaa3c5215ebe9d21z

Then first thing this morning 3 in a row lol.

Yes I did that first as I mentioned and sent to all 3 places instead of just the default 1 and it is still not there. It's no big deal as I continue to submit spam via the website and 99% go thru. It was the errant few that got me looking for a cause and I wondered if I'd stumbled onto it. Like I mentioned later, My guess is that the spammer's are just good at messing with the headers and SC can't tell they came to me. (should be from me lol)

Unfortunately they don't show up in the SC list page EXCEPT the ameritech account which uses Yahoo. Ameritech is now ATT or some such. Changed over a long time ago but I kept the ameritech address and ATT still uses yahoo. I could start there I suppose. Ameritech I had to pay for. It was the DSL (till I left the country over 10 yrs ago) we used. Since it's attached to yahoo you can keep the address. My actual yahoo accountt I've had since '98 or so lol. My guess is that the spammer's are just good at messing with the headers and SC can't tell they came to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It happens infrequently but it's a spammer that has runs of spam come thru my original yahoo account. They actually get by the yahoo spam filters which work pretty well mostly.

This is very odd. So I've been reporting via SC forever and my yahoo act. is the one I used to sign up and use for the forums. Lately I've been getting these messages when reporting. I cut and paste from Yahoo's "View Raw Message" "Hostname verified: mail-db3eur04hn0228.outbound.protection.outlook.com Possible forgery. Supposed receiving system not associated with any of your mailhosts Will not trust this Received line. Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source Mailhost: Please correct this situation - register every email address where you receive spam No source IP address found, cannot proceed. Add/edit your mailhost configuration Finding full email headers Submitting spam via email (may work better) Example: What spam headers should look like Nothing to do." Usually I just ignore this message (saying darn or some such words )and move onto the next spam but today decided to click on "Add/edit your mailhost configuration" and my yahoo address was NOT in there. I receive lots of spam on my yahoo so I report it often and OCCASIONALLY get the "nothing to do" message. Now I'm wondering if something is amiss since my main yahoo address is missing from mail hosts. I did send in to all 3 reporting addresses and replied to those and it went smoothly. Yet my yahoo is still not listed. What should I do, if anything? I still can report yahoo spam but surprised it's not listed.

Since SC only sends to google-abuse-bounces-reports@ devnull.etcetc now, I have https://support.google.com/code/contact/cloud_platform_report in my toolbar next to the SC link as google spam seems to be quite prolific in the last year. I also used their " Send feedback about our Help Centre link to send them this message. 😂😆😆

Just now. Can't send report: smtpEnvelope (7141114481.69a2861e@bounces.spamcop.net, abuse@quadranet.com): smtpFrom: mail From 7141114481.69a2861e@bounces.spamcop.net: error (452 #4.3.1 temporary system error (12) )

No problems today or yesterday. Right now is noon BKK times :) I have been getting this issue tho from time to time.What I end up doing is backing up as it shows I still have a spam to report and then it says "if this spam was reported today" kind of thing so I just re-report it

Just tried reporting a couple spams (3;10pm BKK time) and one left from a timeout last night. Not working. Gateway Timeout The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server. Reference #1.6aa50517.1629187797.145ace23

Thanks. a. yep, i get that, and in most cases it's just a "Dearest Recipient In Jesus" or some such that isn't worth anyone's time to pursue further. Only the most egregious spammers are worth any extra effort such as ones sending virus's, sending links in hopes of tricking some poor sod to give up bank, paypal or whatever info, etc.and those, if SC devnulls it, I'll FWD on my own. In the instance above I posted about, it was the email itself that they didn't want to hear about which was a change for them or at least how SC handled their spam. If it was an egregious type of spammer, then I may have fwd'ed on my own, but honestly don't remember the specifics of that one. Since then google have resumed accepting spam so no worries. :)

I guess reporting spam to Google isn't appreciated anymore. Got this when reporting today. Similar to the twitter_doesnt-care-about-spam report address. ;)

We must belong to the same Yahoo Mac user group as I remember that post. :)

My ATT yahoo is pretty much spam free but the yahoo.co m one gets 4-8 a day, but sometimes none. Gmail tucks their spam folder out of sight so I only go there if expecting an email and have not received it, so I don't really bother reporting those much. There was a period this year when there was little to no spam in my yahoo and even someone in a Mac user group commented about their lack of spam. Perhaps there was a period of time covid was of use!

I guess in some ways I'm looking for patterns where none really exist but for the randomness of what methods my yahoo spammers send me stuff. If I look in my gmail account it's stuff from all over the place. The consistency at which my one yahoo receives spam from google sources made me wonder what was up, and if google takes SC reports seriously at all. It probably means nothing

Wondering if it's just my flavour of spam coming to my Yahoo that tends to be 95% sourced from Google, or if anyone else has noticed this trend? In fairness this screenshot shows multiple spams that were the same content I assume by their subjects. I really only report from this email account as it gets to be too much bother reporting my gmail spam which tends to be from the usual multitude of sources. Been reporting these google spams for several months now with no changes even with googledoc links in the emails too.

Sorry back so late to this. Just came back to post on another subject. Same issue today using Firefox to get to the Forums page and comp password was asked for by FF to make sure I wanted to come to the page.

I use this link https://forum.spamcop.net/forums from this page. https://www.spamcop.net/sitemap.shtml From the direct link from the email telling me of your reply there are no issues. Here is the Safari results after clicking link from https://www.spamcop.net/sitemap.shtml

I was going to make a new post but it seems it is not needed? What the heck is going on here? I don't come to the forums much but this issue has been going on a REALLY long time. I may have posted about it years ago but saw this thread first.

Yep, didn't see anything that was out of place. Reported it anyway just to be sure. I see we're in nearly the same time zone
