Replace the body of the email with something like "Body a jpg file link only"
-
Just checking. Are you talking about your reporting account or your spamCop email forwarding account?
-
More information is needed to help you find a fix to you problem.
-
Sorry but I don't understand. How is having a SpamCop account (of any kind) keeping you from receiving email or changing your password on some other website?
Can you explain your problem in more detail? When did this problem start?

If reports of reportable activity from the IP stop, the IP will automatically be removed from the SCBL.

The tsunami has receded(?) Hopefully this is not just the low tide.

There is a break or a day off. Yesterday ended with a 14hr period with out spam. This morning had only a handful, mostly one/two per account. There were 3(?) bots but they posted less than 10 each.

That could discourage legit posters because they can't see their new message
Which is the reason the this forum has always been wide open. With all users being able to see new request for help, a problem can be resolved quickly (no mater the time zone, or weather, etc where ever)
This current blizzard too will pass.

Sorry about the blocking notice - My error.
There are several possibilities. With a Tracking URL so others could see what the parser could see in the submitted header and what it then did. With that insight someone may have a suggestions.

and train the snake
How do you train a snake? Training requires an 'up-side' for the trainee. From the snake's point of view what would be the up-side for posting in the new thread?

Finely found it! A bit must have gotten hit by a cosmic ray and turned this announcement back on. It is set as 'inactive' again.

Speaking of reporting forum spam would be nice
I don't know if there is one currently. I, other admin here, used to post all spam here to a forum spam list. That listing was a small group effort and had a horrid reporting interface that defied automation. It died.

See spammer_rules @ninth see rule #0

+1240 today. I am getting quicker at deleting them. 'Practice makes...' and all that

By my count that was a blizzard of 173.

We, SpamCop and those that report the spam they receive, appear to have pissed off someone.
today's postings were not an effort to get someone to use the services listed.

Every email application, host, ISP between the source of an email (IronPort) and your screen can, and does modify the header of a received email.
It does not make much sense to me, for SpamCop to generate an email to you AND mark the subject line as [SUSPECTED spam]
Sense the beginning of time, different ISPs/email apps have marked or blocked email from @spamcop.net as spam. There have been several reasons; some as simple minded as the word 'spam' in the domain name. SpamCop emails also include links which include the work 'spam'. Other links may be to domains that have been identified as sources of spam.
-
Check with your email app, security app. For example depending on your settings, Thunderbird or Norton can insert that type of warning into the subject line of what they suspect to be spam or a scam.
I have been getting [SUSPECTED scam] inserted into the subjects of followup emails from stores I have bought something from when they include survey questions.
All part of efforts to protect us from ourselves.

Without a the TRACKING URL none of the user experience can be brought to bear.
-
The is a possibility that there was a temporary issue with the DNS server, or your server, that caused the timeout/ bounce. If you don't see an issue, I would suggest go back to your SpamCop login and clear the bounce flag.
As long as the flag is set SpamCop will not send you an emails. (As I remember if SC gets 3 (or 6?) bounces SC will set the bounce flag in your account. If the flag gets set again, have a hart to hart with your ISP to fix the real problem.

Just got this back from Digital Ocean. It seems to be saying it's just going to ignore the mail from Spamcop.
I think this is just a "clever" way of not dealing with spammers that contribute to Digital Ocean's bottom line. A translation of their response could be "We have a strong anti-spam policy (so don't blame us) and a automated tooling to deal with all spam reports received. This tool requires all reports be submitted in an obscure dialect of the language of the Denisovans, due to the high volume of abuse submissions we receive." Of course if they controlled the spam from the IPs they control, the volume would not be so high.
JMHO

Richard said that there were going to be some DNS changes as part of the Monday update. a change in IP could effect your ISP's response.

Bumping Richard's post for those that missed it.
Image-only spam?
in SpamCop Reporting
Posted
Yes John forwarding spam as an attachment is the best way generally. However, for the few image-only spam, Login in to your reporting account, cut-and-past the spam with full header. Then scroll down past the first blank line, delete the body (and gjf/jpg causing the problem). Then add a line stating what you did "deleted image-only body". Then submit the spam.
This approach is similar to the process for spam that is too big to process. In that case the body is truncated and a line of text is added.
Remember parsing the body is the lowest priority, after processing the header to collect data about the IP for the SCBL, then sending spam reports to the ISP etc, THEN process the body.
