    I configured the Mailhost in the SpamCop control panel by simply following the instructions, where SpamCop sends an email to spamcop@ourdomain.com

    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.

    The only thing that I can think of is that we tweaked our email server a couple of weeks ago,

    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.

    Has my ISP blocked me from spam? 

    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.

  3. 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 was expecting emails to come to my email account that my SCF profile is based on....
    • Is my "expectation" the issue?

    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.

    but maybe, someone who has SCF "Admin" authority could create a dummy,

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

    sc-one.png 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

  8. 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.

  9. From the parser output you linked

    APNIC is an " Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community. "  Guessing they would get more spam reports that they would bother to process.

    I APNIC is not going to fix the problem, why should spamcop wast the bandwidth or clutter the web with a report that will be put in the bit bucket.

    To directly answer you question, this is not an error it is a decision not to sent a report.  Do note that your submitted spam does feed the SCBL (Using ... for statistical tracking.)

    MTA, not sure if it's "commonly" used, it is used by SCF members.... Meaning? No idea

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Within the Internet email system, a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using SMTP
