Yes mine are always just from 1 IP and occur about every 3 months or so.
-
BTW I wasn't aware of the choice of new owners servers or not.
-
Yes I usually report them but the last one I didn't have time to do so. Plus I was using my phone and had forgotten my glasses so I couldn't see the finer details.

Thanks that sets my mind at rest. As it’s so common it speaks volumes about the security at cesmail’s servers.
10 minutes ago, petzl said:1 hour ago, RobiBue said:definitely a scam to get money (or bitcoins)...
I actually report it to the originating provider...
haven't received one in a long time now... used to get them frequently... -
Periodically I receive emails to & from my cesmail email address saying due to a trojan my “device” has been hacked. It possibly started either after I reported a strange email abyear or so ago, or after I almost got an infection which Malwarebytes Pro intercepted and cleaned. I now use McAfee to protect my PC & iPhone/iPad. The email asks for money but I delete them immediately. I don’t believe what they say as I frequently do full scans with WD, MBAM Pro (now installed but kept inactive), and McAfee.
Thoughts anyone?

Ignore, it is OK now.

Firefox is currently refusing to open the http://www.spamcop.net/ website page saying it isn't secure.
Anyone got ideas?

Ignore...posted in wrong spot.

You're welcome. Hopefully it will put a few peoples' minds at rest.

Got a great answer from Spamcop/Richard and it only took about 8 minutes for him to respond too, which is impressive.
I had asked about my fuel getting low and had forgotten that Cesmail Accounts never had fuel anyway, the fuel we did have was given a while back to everyone as compensation for an outage
Yes, that is correct. The fuel however makes no difference with youraccount as it has the cesmail flag set, so the system sees and treats itas a premium account. You'll see no change when the fuel runs out.Technically, your account never should have had fuel. When we hadongoing network issues a couple of years ago we upgraded everyone'saccount to a premium account or added fuel to premium accounts, as a wayof apologizing for the issues. Of course it made no difference withcesmail users, but the way the add fuel was written didn'tdifferentiate account types. It just added fuel to all accounts.Richard -
According to http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/topic/14392-important-spamcop-announcement/?view=findpost&p=90126:
Doesn't that mean that you should never have to "add fuel"?
I was also wondering about that as my "Fuel" is getting low.

As I said earlier All settings are now at http://www.spamcop.net/ Preference tab where you can set forwarding to your address. All POP/IMAP settings should have been cancelled at SC Webmail before the change. If you had mail stored in folders at Webmail, you've lost it as the notice went out literally ages ago and it was posted on the log-in page and News for quite a long while too.
I don't understand anyone using such a service and never bothering to check the web pages all that time.

A few weeks ago? They stopped accepting subscriptions some time ago. Mine was OK in July and as I got 3 months-worth I'm not too worried about it as I still can use the reporting service. Anway you can always dispute the charge if you paid using a credit card or PayPal. However, if you do that you will be forfeiting the cesmail email address too don't forget. All reporting settings are on the Preferences tab at spamcop.net and Help is obatinable through ther Help link there.
-
Footnote, if you never got a response from spamcop then you sent it to the wrong address. Using the link I mentioned elicits an immediate auto-response, followed by an email maybe 2 days later on average.

You are very welcome and good luck.
If you need to contact SC use the "Other Reasons For Contact: at the bottom here http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/401.html Fill in a brief reason and click,
it will lead you to the form that lands in their Inbox. They reply quite quickly actually, 2 business days max and you'll get an immediate auto-reply.

Two different organizations now so I guess the old webmail page will never be updated.
Sorry no clue regarding your wife's account at spamcop.net. There's a contact us form on the Help pages.

My wife and I both have SpamCop e-mail addresses. We both made sure to put in the forwarding before the end of September. The forwarding on my account works The forwarding on my wife's does not.
Going to the page with the forwarding setting: https://webmail.spamcop.net/horde/imp/spamcop/preferences.php
The ability to see/add/change/edit the forwarding address is gone! Just the announcement of how important it is to set the forwarding address. No place to actually do it.
Help!
Even on my account, where forwarding is working, there is no way for me to see and/or update the address should it become necessary.
The setting has moved to the reporting page. Go to http://www.spamcop.net and click the Preferences tab.

I neglected to set a forwarding address or change my IMAP server, and am now getting an invalid certificate. I went to the spamcop.net address and read the note about forwarding, but don't see any form there for entering a forwarding address, and I noticed I can no longer do it on my spamcop webmail account. I tried changing forwarding address in the "Preferences" section of spamcop.net, but it never sent a confirmation email to that address. Have tried it several times. Any suggestions?
Set it up at SC Reporting > Preferences tab
-
We shall see I guess.
-
As an exercise I set up SC and Fastmail as if the cut had already occurred and it works a treat, so no problems there. No mean considering I have 12 email addresses on (at least) 2 mail clients on each of 4 OS's, not to mention my tablets to think of.
-
Yes I'm aware of that, thanks. Hoping to avoid that...but...
-
I did and I have a few days to go yet to the 45-day mark, will wait until the last minute...am hoping they redeem themselves sufficiently to deter me from going that route.
Checking For The SC Mail News That Never Comes

In the hope that the old SC Mail System has been reintroduced. But no it hasn't..
More's the pity.
