    I believe SpamCop did this because spammers were returning their burnt IP blocks back to the registrar and good people were acquiring IPs from these burnt blocks.

    How likely is it that google will be giving back their IPs?  Since their alert emails are being /dev/null'd, they should be forced to go through some kind of procedure to get their offending IPs delisted.  Just my $0.02.

  2. Howdy all - some time ago I posted regarding how spam from google servers is being /dev/null'd: 

    In that thread I asked of the reported IP addresses will become part of the SC block list, and was told any IPs reported via SC feed the SCBL.  However, since then I've encountered spam from google IPs that I've reported but don't seem to be blacklisted.  About a month ago I started keeping track of the IPs and here's a list of the IPs that have sent multiple spam messages even though I have reported them:

     

    209.85.160.187: 3
    209.85.161.56: 2
    209.85.161.63: 3
    209.85.166.177: 2
    209.85.166.47: 3
    209.85.167.184: 3
    209.85.167.65: 2
    209.85.208.177: 2
    209.85.208.179: 2
    209.85.208.45: 2
    209.85.208.52: 2
    209.85.208.66: 2
    209.85.219.172: 2
    209.85.219.196: 2
    209.85.219.55: 2
    209.85.221.51: 2
    209.85.222.183: 2
    209.85.222.66: 2
     

    the # after the colon is the number of spam messages I've received and reported.

     

    I'm guessing these IPs are getting blacklisted but only for a short period of time?  Are they automatically removed or does google have to request to be delisted?

     

    About 90% of the spam I receive comes from google IPs.  I'm getting tired of what seems to be them just thumbing their nose at our efforts to combat this problem.  Anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

  3. Howdy all - I seem to recall this happening before, perhaps a couple-three years ago?

    Spamcop reports for google spam is being /dev/null'd again. Since about 90% of the spam I receive comes from google's servers, this is not good. The submission always responds w/ something similar to this:

    Tracking message source: 209.85.210.170:
    Routing details for 209.85.210.170
    [refresh/show] Cached whois for 209.85.210.170 : network-abuse@google.com
    abuse@google.com bounces (25774 sent : 16844 bounces)
    Using best contacts
    No reporting addresses found for 209.85.210.170, using devnull for tracking.
    Yum, this spam is fresh!
    Message is 0 hours old

    209.85.210.170 not listed in plus.bondedsender.org
    209.85.210.170 not listed in iadb.isipp.com

    Anyone have any idea what's going on? Gmail is so ubiquitous, it's impossible to firewall these IPs w/o upsetting a lot of people...

    I was wondering about this too, for many months I've had endless "I've invited you to fill out this form" spam and it all originated from google. Been reporting them using Spamcop dutifully and they were going to (IIRC) network-abuse@google.com. But this week, well see above. Even if a report email isn't sent does the IP address still find its way into Spamcop's blacklist?

    One would think google would *want* to not allow spam to originate from their servers.

  5. I included the 1st line of the body in the original submission.  The $null causes the parser to gobble up the blank line separating the headers from the body and incorporate part of the body into the Message-ID: value.  If you remove just the $null from the aforementioned header and resubmit it gets parsed correctly.

     

    This is the reason I offered to post the original message instead of the tracking URL.  If doing that will be helpful, let me know.

     

    Thanks, Paul

  6. Lately I've been getting spam where the last line of the header reads:

     

    Message-ID: $null

     

    when reporting this using the web form it causes the parser to somehow misinterpret the end of the headers and beginning of the body text.  As a workaround I just remove the $null portion and post the report.  I've kept an example that fails, so if need be I can post the headers for inspection.

     

    Thanks, Paul
