  1. That worked, thank you. I've changed email forwarding to my fastmail account, to avoid Sonic's dubious header issues.
  2. "Mail has been converted to a flat rate account" it now says, with a link that doesn't connect to anything. Tried a password reset and the new pwd they emailed doesn't work.
  3. The fog is beginning to clear. Thank you all for the verbose -- in a good way -- comments. I did contact my ISP and asked them to put someone knowledgeable on this question. "Explain like I'm 75" is very helpful. I understood this stuff a few decades ago, but it changed.
  4. Hmmm. Can't log in to Spamcop's email client to change forwarding. These instructions: https://www.spamcop.net/ces/setup_forwarding2.shtml say login here: http://webmail.spamcop.net/ The instructions are differenet than I recall years back when Spamcop quit being an email provider --- at that time they said to set up forwarding, which I did. Now the instructions say don't set up forwarding, instead have other providers POP the mail (which Fastmail would do, if I get this figured out, I'd had a Fastmail account for a long time just in case I needed it)
  5. I've asked support and knowledgeable users at my ISP Sonic.net to take a look. I can try changing the forwarding instruction for my mail address at spamcop to forward it to a different email provider, to see if that helps. I'm slowly finding and changing all the records out there that use @spamcop.net as my email contact, but egad, it's years and years of accumulated pointers to find and fix.
  6. I have a Spamcop email address I've used for many years. Isn't that supposed to be listed in mailhosts? As Spamcop fairly recently required, it now just forwards mail to another address. As an old long-used address it gets a lot of spam, which Spamcop no longer filters for me since they improved the Spamcop service.
  7. So help me understand what Spamcop is trying to tell me when I get this warning: "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source" Does that mean that, somewhere in the headers of the submitted spam, there is a mailhost for which I don't have an entry? Can I hand-edit the problem spam to take something out that makes Spamcop identify "internal IP as source"? I don't see what the "internal IP" is that's causing the error.
  8. I thought doing that risks tagging the mail hosts that appear in the report as spam sources, if you don't have any mail hosts whitelisted by Spamcop?
  9. and another: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6550829312z28b288e7765aed3250e66e22677929e8z Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source
  10. Can you "explain like I'm 75" how you made that work? I've got another one here: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6550787211z905db5082b84aaf3684b505829469a4az Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source
  11. Can someone help me figure this out? https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6549455694zfeb75193b1712788142a5546e2c495dbz 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 ... I've read the previous threads about this and tried the suggestion to create a new mailhost entry but still gettimg spammed from one source that always has this problem being reported
  12. OK, so I guess I have to "forward inline" to add blank lines, rather than "forward as attachment" But no joy. Here's what the spam looks like -- I added the blank lines to the forward: Note the spam is coming via Spamcop, I have email forwarded from that old Spamcop address. ________ORIGINAL FOLLOWS______as forwarded inline to Spamcop reporting service, which won't handle it: "Spamcop could not find the spam message in this mail" --- I'm nobody. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 12哈喽!现邀您领188圆 请在【554628点com】注册VIP 详情企鹅专员【2813339771】咨询VIP周周领工资 俸禄月月拿 天天都有红包雨 实力平台 出款安全保障 Date: 2018-04-25 20:14 From: "葛艳开" <351750069@qq.com> To: <[me]/@spamcop.net> blank blank blank this is spam
  13. Same problem ("no body text") happening with a deluge of spam from various numeric strings @qq.com (Chinese) I've been trying "forward as attachment" but spamcop rejects these. There is no visible body text. A read receipt is usually requested. Some of the spams come with malware attached. I've blocked @qq.com as graymail at my ISP, but since my ISP uses the Spamcop block list, I'd really like to be able to report this spam.
  14. One thing Cloudflare does for sure by passing on Spamcop reports -- validates your email address so the spammer can resell it with confidence. I wish Spamcop could save us the trouble of hand-editing every report to take out all the tracking stuff the spammers use -- putting our name and email into the spam; unique strings of digits; etcetera. Some extra special processing of the reports going to Cloudflare would be welcome. I'm sure Spamcop can figure out how Cloudflare is tracking its spam, with all the samples you're passing through. Just look for matches on the home email of the complaining user, and for similar random strings. And nuke them.

  16. Running Virtualbox, to run Windows 7, to run Mailstore (when I remember to) is still the best I can do.
  17. MailStore detected corruption in CESmail I think. It told me, a couple of days ago, it found three pieces of email timestamped 1969 that it could not archive. Today, it does not find those at CESmail/Spamcop. It's also found a few pieces of mail in old sent-mail folders from over a year ago that it did not detect two days ago. And it's found two pieces of email in the current sent-mail folder from 1/13 that it did not detect two days ago. Odd. I am sure glad I have MailArchive. Now if I can get it to run automatically, I'll begin to feel I can trust email again, a bit.
  18. So MailStore works great, run manually. Just lost all the individual emails in my Inbox though, and it'd been a couple of weeks since I did the last MailStore archive. Support hasn't found the missing mail. Anyone else lost any lately?
  19. Confirming, MailStore (free for home use) will do what's needed. MailStore is Windows-only With a Windows license you can run it using VirtualBox on a Linux or Mac host.
  20. > MailStore Free home version is for Windows-only: Version 5.0.1 - Freeware For Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003, 2008 This is the link to the free version, explicitly: http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx Still not the answer I'm hoping for, but useful for some folks. I asked over there whether it can handle subfolders, with a pointer back to this discussion: http://getsatisfaction.com/email_archiving...cop_sub_folders > luisalbondigas ... > I've got my eye out for a TBird add-in that will facilitate filter > actions across multiple folders. That would be nice. That sounds like the answer I'm hoping someone will find.
  21. QUOTE(luisalbondigas [at] Nov 6 2011, 09:45 PM) * " using TBird, on any OS, you can just create a filter to move all mail off the SpamCop IMAP volumes ...." Can you spell out how to create this filter? For multiple folders? Here's what I tried that didn't quite work I set up Thunderbird to see Spamcop as a POP server, but it sees only the Inbox at Spamcop. So now I have the Inbox saved locally but not yet any other folders (and I have monthly sent-mail folders since 2006, plus quite a few folders kept to sort mail into by subject). I tried just going to those folders and selecting all and forwarding ("all" doesn't get all at once but it gets some large number). But the resulting file bounced from the other mail system I use often. Still trying things, but hoping either Spamcop/CESMail managers see the need and provide a way, or else someone can walk me through this.
  22. I appreciate the suggestions for how to make copies "by hand" and save them to other drives. Of course I'll do that from time to time. My question was whether there's a way to automatically create a safe copy. Apparently there is not. A response from the CrashPlan folks -- I asked if they could back up copies of Spamcop mail as they do the other files on hard drives, automatically. They can't: ----------------------------------------------- .... it appears that there really is no way for us to accomplish that. Since IMAP is controlled by the server and will delete what is not there, the only way that you could recover the emails would be to have a backup that was restored to a different location, but then as soon as the account synced with the email and connected to the server, they would be deleted anyway. So in essence, there would be no good way to go about it. Have a great day .... ----------------------------------------------
  23. Topic question is how to back up (not give up) the email on the server. I understand there's no way yet. Trying to focus here. Two questions, I think, sum this up: -- how to get everything copied to the local computer and keeping copies happening routinely -- how to change/move the copies so CESMail's IMAP can't take it away accidentally -- how to look at the copies later. NOTE, the backups could be PDF files for example, as long as it's readable. So maybe routinely _printing-to-PDF_ when Spamcop mail opens? I asked above about a new Trash system where trashed mail is kept but marked invisible. More about that --related to backups: -- is this going to be a problem causing backing up of invisible copies of trash we want to get rid of? -- is there a way to be sure email _gets_ deleted that we _want_ deleted? This new trash-by-making-invisible smells of Homeland Security to me, is it a requirement out of the idea that everyone's mail has to be kept available for government searches?
  24. I didn't trust. I failed to understand how local folders behave in IMAP. My bad. Some knew and didn't get burned. Others like me who found Petzl's post now know this can happen. Likely some don't yet know why it happened to them. So this is "BACK UP YOUR EMAIL" Explanations of how you do it will help. Explanations what not to do and what to avoid will help too.
  25. I appreciate your pinning this where it'll be seen. I'm hoping someone in admin. from CESMail or Spamcop/Ironport/Cisco reads this. The earlier thread you linked above states the problem. --------- "(Dave_L [at] Nov 2 2011, 09:05 AM) * I use thunderbird and IMAP, rather than POP3, but have the option selected to store copies of email locally. The email is included in my daily backups onto an external drive." in reply to Petzl (Nov 2 2011, 05:25 AM) who wrote "IMAP can remove you emails if the server deletes them (but will put them back when the back-up does which is going to be time consuming) ...." -------- Thunderbird Portable comes with some warnings, don't open Spamcop with its default settings unchanged! Someone else there mentions archiving everything to Gmail. Some other discussions -- about other systems, in hopes Spamcop will come up with something similar: http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/how-t...up-your-webmail May 03 2011 -------- By the way, when did "Virtual Trash" start up? I'm used to pruning out the stuff I don't want then saving what I do want to keep (or trying to save it!). Now I see this new thing that says "Virtual Folders: Virtual Trash ... Instead of moving messages to a centralized trash folder, messages are simply marked as deleted in the current folder they live in...." So -- how can those be excluded if we find a way to save backup copies automatically? Is this new feature related to the loss of mail problem?
