The source of an email can be identified by the FROM: line or the IP address found in the list of Received: lines in the header. The FROM: which looks like a good choice and is valid for all legitimate emails emails you received, it is easy to forge by the spammer (or anyone) and maybe a valid email for someone totally unrelated to the source of the spam. Although it could be a Joe Job, The forged/spoofed FROM: is just a randomly selected mailbox. The IP address found in the header Received: lines must point back to the true source (well mostly). If the IP address is not correct the network will not be able to do the required handshaking as the email (packets) move through the network to the destination. As you correctly observe, anyone using the same IP address will also be blocked along with the spammer who shares the IP address. But this is why spam reports are sent to the managers of the IP address i.e. the abuse[at]... for the IP address or block of addresses. This gives a 'caring" admin the opportunity check their logs, identify the sender and crush the bugs using their bandwidth. This is a good reason to have a dedicated IP address, especially if you rely on you email being delivered.

Is there a way to automate report submission?
Lking replied to gabrielt's topic in SpamCop Reporting
Check Can I automatically forward spam from my spamtraps? On the Staff tab contact Richard W -
Peer to peer works! So can we mark this resolved?

This may be your issue. Your mailhose configuration should reflect the path of reported email (spam) not the reporting email. Depending on your situation this may be a distinction without a difference. If all the email spam you are reporting has all been sent to [at]ourdomain.com received by one host then the configuration should be simple. The purpose of the mailhost configuration is to document the local path of email through your servers from 'the outside world' to your inbox. This information enables the parser to know which Received: lines in the header are expected local entries and not part of the external source of the spam. I think you are correct about the source of the problem. Is email to spamcop[at]ourdomain.com now follow a different path than other email? I think an in depth review of what you tweaked is in order.

Just to be sure and not knowing your email configuration: You have configured you mailhost following https://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/397.html for all paths?

The "Submit" by SpamAssassin should result in a Tracking URL just like the the example in your OP. That tracking URL will include the spam sent by SpamAssassin. Or am I missing something?

You should be able to log into your reporting account and click on the <Past Reports> tab.

Sorry for the "clutter" The last 24 hours. I had a local hardware failure. New laptop works fine.

As an example I offer the spam posted on this spam fighting forum.

As RobiBue suggest for some reason your address may have removed from their database. That would of course imply a though process on the part of the spammers. Actions by your ISP is 'between you and your ISP' Much to the puzzlement of my host/ISP i have all email filters bypassed/turned off.

Upon rereading with more sleep do up me "acronym"?

Done. HTH

With the email column in 1) set to on take a close look at the options when you "follow" a thread. Not sure what the problem is. MM is an ordinary newbie "Members" not even an "Membera" as you are and MM gets emails. There is no way the system can relate my two accounts the emails are in different domains. ~~ No one is going to do the traffic analysis and notice that both emails use the same IP (we share an ISP) or that the two domains have the same IP (I have both domains on the same host/VM). I can not see your account settings so I am some what limited to suggestions.

I can not speak to your expectations in general, however in this case your expectations are not the issue. I was trying to say that mail notification is working for MM, however some times the deliver is slow. I would suggest a couple of things 1) turn on all the notifications and then save at the bottom of the screen. 2) check junk folder for <noreply{AT}spamcop.invisionmanaged.net> the source of the notifications. Testing takes coordination (or patience) sense you do not get notification of your own post. Testing in this thread is a bit of a clutter. Suggest 1) above and the check the options when you follow an active thread.
-
Good idea. You may notice a third poster in this thread? Just to be sure you have check all you notification settings. 1. Top right of screen, click on your login name and pick <Account Settings> from the drop down menu 2. In the right 1/3 of the SETTINGS window under "Other Settings" select <Notification Settings> 3. Scroll down past the first <SAVE> and look at your selected option. You will notice that in some cases when you mouse over an option you will see "The administrator has disabled..." When I started looking, I didn't remember seeing this before.

I did receive the following email

Yes the notification system does work. I receive several admin types for example when someone reports a spam or when someone makes a post that needs to be approved, I am notified. In the passed bulk notification has been sent when the forum will be down for maintenance. Which notice are you looking for? I will try to see why it is not working for you.
-
The IP will automatically be delisted in ~20 hrs when I looked. Did you follow the link https://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=192.185.46.109 in the page you referenced? I would also suggest you contact your ISP to see if others share that IP. If so others could be the cause of the listing. In either case, you should review your operation.

Guess your are just lucky(?)

I don't know could be a difference in browsers. When with Windows/FireFox I look at a FB post I see 3 dots in the upper right corner of the post. Clicking on those and I get a drop down menu that includes <Give Feedback on this post> Then I get Then I click on the <spam> button. <Scam & Fake pages> could be just as good. In either case someone there will look at it and dump the trash

When I got back from my road trip last week (hours alone with little to do but think) I started reporting to Facebook links in forum spam here. And it has an impact! If you get here before I do in the morning you may have noticed some of the forum spam includes a link to a Facebook page i.e. "https:/ /facebook,com/somepage/1234567899" or the like. I login to FB, and past the link into my browser. On the spammer's FB page there is a "Feedback" option so I report the page as spam. Never going back I had no idea if it had an effect Today there were two FB links to the same page. I reported the first one and when I went back the second time several minutes later, the page was " currently not available"!!! I feel good today.
