  1. Perhaps for the same reasoning that most people is US don't want gun control. We already see a lot of sites still using ReCaptcha, Google's click the bicycles games. Why? Because some minority might by chance hack in. The need to have a disposable address is to protect one's good email address against spammers. Please don't start a wokie thingy akin to lock everyone up because some people rob banks.
  2. Thanks @petzl. That is bad news. I'd say the war against spam is over, that they have won. 😞 And, thank you for being around all these years sharing your know-how and experience.💯 ~o
  3. Short form, Is it a waste of time posting (manually logging and pasting source etcetera) here at SpamCop? I don't see any spam being dead any more. The most obvious spammer even passes through the no-spam monitor at Shaw.Ca. We're supposed to forward them to a Shaw email address, but they get bounced back. Not just me everyone that tries to help controlling it. They made us do their job for them, then don't bother to see is their =links work outside of it's dungeons. Now, even the most obvious spam keeps coming through, and even though I and I would hope others, report it back to GOOGLE (king of spamdomania), doesn't even bother with them. Is it the same here now? No sense posting them if they just go into file 13. TIA ~o
  4. Short form, Is it a waste of time posting (manually logging and pasting source etcetera) here at SpamCop? Ditto to getting the "coded email address". ...and last I looked ISP is Internet Service Provider and IP is for Internet Protocol. Have the Googies changed that too?
  5. I gather you mean 'The ISP won't take action' not IP. Two different things. You said..."send directly from my email address sometimes". Do you know where I may find the step x step to send via email (Thunderbird) client instead of reporting via site? TIA, ~o
  6. That is what I figured and why I checked our mail server (I have access). I'll look again, maybe for a server email Event. Thanks for clarifying that the site is working. I'll check again. I can attest to what @ninth mentioned. One of our server ISPs blocked a IP due to spaming. Some hosts/ISP will definitely block a IP if it's shown to be sending spam. I've reported obvious spam to SC, and in comments, added "Just the usual spammers at OVH" because it was getting really bad. Later, I received a note from OVH, 'The matter has been taken care of'. I intend to capture the next report and get the tracking number (or whatever that report result number near the top is.to @petzl. I think he speaks the language. ~o
  7. I don't think we are on the same topic. The site went belly up 16-06=5-2023 according the emails I get telling I didn't "FORWARD" emailed, copy, copied to , I don't know how the Hades to explain it otherwise. I DON'T/DIDN'T/WOULDN'T Forward the spam email. There is a big difference between the SC emails I get from SpamCap about Forwarding (which - again, I am Not doing). If SpamCop has been neglected to this state where it is in need of some serious intervention, and can only report spam that goes no where, then pull it's %^$# plug! We're not getting anywhere except frustrated. Bye ~g
  8. Thanks. I'm not explaining myself well enough or your'e missing the point. The site AFTER reporting MY way, has always worked. Until recently. The site STILL sends the report. A while later, a email from the site reports that i need to do something else. It is assuming I "forward'emails,. I don't. I already explained the process. I should also point out I am NOT using a cell phone, a smart phone not even a dumb phone. It's called a DESKTOP. I don't send any thing. I manually go to the site, manually copy & paste the '''source''' of the entire spam. I then click Send button. Done! NOTHING DIFFERENT than last week ore the lat month or last 4 or 5 years. Let's just say we both tried and forget it. I won't bother any more and just cuss the spam and click delete. ~o
  9. I'm going to back on this topic and ask again, I don't think you read my post (OP) correctly @petzl. I ave always been able to copy the message source, and paste it into the reporting box. If file was too big, SC asks if I want it truncated, Yes, and off it goes. NEW EVENT SC sends it back telling me to make it mime or something. I'm NOT EMAILING the source, I log into SC and paste it into the report box. So why is it email, them back to me requiring I change it and re-email it? Our ISP is second largest in Canada and dropped using their anti-spam telling everyone to put spam into the Junk box instead. So now we pay more for less that we must now do ourselves. So SC is blessing - most times. Same topic, still asking. ~o p.s. I checked the mail server. It's not mailing the reports. So, what changed at SC?
  10. That's not only extra steps, it also never worked for me. What may be different, is that I use a email client, not web browser. Too, I manage the mail server the domain with issues. As for "raw" email my copy & paste email source is the same thing, only you email it. I've had those on-purpose huge 'raw' but the reporting box takes it and truncates it. There's never been a problem with those. Just recently, last few days, I paste and later a SC email arrives saying that "When forwarding spam..." I didn't forward anything. That's what I use to get when I tried email (Forwarding) to SC and failed. So the other way, copy/paste into report box, should work. I am sheepishly beginning to wonder if some changes to our anti-spam on the server (LAMP) didn't kick in a forward to SC. I will embarrassingly leave now and go check it out. Will report back when I know. ~o
  11. Sorry @petzl I've no idea what you mean by pay. Pay who, pay what, pay for every report, and is this a new thing about pay? The only "pay" I've seen is to pay to get rid of the delay screens. Last time I used a cheque was about 20 years ago. I haven't seen a pay gateway here. Like I stated, I never had this happen until a few days ago. And as I pointed out, the reason I was given was to use "a MIME attachment". "attachment":; this too is new to me. How much to whom using what payment plan? ~o
  12. Hi, I am now getting reports from SC that spam reported to SC is not sent. How I have always sent them: Recognize spam in email I view the "email source" (full text view) I select All, and Copy Open SpamCop, login Click Paste into the reporting box and hit process. Then when SC is done processing it, I add to the comment or usually just press the Send report. Done, move on to the next or logout. Now the SC message that it didn't process, and assumes I used HTML. I don't, it's pasted as "plain text". This is how I have been doing for what, 3 or 4 years now. The SC email report sent back reads: Primary and original reporter of email redacted. Is there something I should be doing different now? Thanks for all your work, ~o
  13. I've never seen it before. Maybe they are under new management, but whatever. Preamble: I reported phishing via SpamCop. The spam was originated at OVH. Today, get a response from OVH. Email didn't say it was private so here is what they said: As Mr. Rogers use to say, "It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood". ~o
  14. G'day Serverion, as everyone seems to know about is being a real ^%&*$ renting out IP#s to a spammer that jumps from IP to IP. I've been manually copy-paste-message-source into SpamCops online reporting box. Time is taking it's toll and I just don't have enough of it to go through 36 emails accounts, so I manually delete them. I've been through here, again, today, reading through the ">> spamcop-flat-rate-email-account-setup/" But there seems to be no Flat Rate Email Account Setup, just a bevy of questions and answers - nothing about where, how, or how much to pay. I know your all very busy, so in point form I would like to ask: ITEM 1: Is the SpamCop "Flat Rate Email Account" a email account, or a mail account that filters spam out of email, then send on to intended recipient? Either way, how much does it cost, where do we send money, sign up and such? Does the FAQ need updating from "FAQ: Getting Mail From The SpamCop Email System By Jeff G., January 31, 2004" or do the instruction apply in 2021? ITEM 2: I read that to Forward spam to SpamCop via email client (Thunderbird), we need send the source, not the email if in html. For Tbird, that means each spam needs to be opened, view source, copy, select all, create email to SpamCop.... (account id), paste source (text version), and send. Is it possible to highlight all spam, then Forward it/all to "submit.blahblah........@spam.spamcop.net" or might that error out? cPanel has a email option to setting filters, but IP addresses are one at a time, so that's useless. Do any Gurus here know of a way to direct email to SpamCop's reporting system from cPanel? My discussion with the folks at cPanel haven't helped. Using example: 323.423.312.* or 323.* or 323. or CIDRs like 321.323.232.1/12 don't work. I am going to try several ideas I have; there is a danger in that I will try creating filters in Tbird, that will forward it to SpamCop if Tbird will convert the spam and forwarding headers to TEXT. I tried forwarding but received the following: Thanks for the work ya all do, O
  15. Looks like this is the only suggestion, the others are questions, but in keeping with old traditions - I'd like to suggest: That SC introduce ways and means of using SCBLs under cPanel accounts. A tool so we can drop in SCRBL s and let cPanel compare incoming mail to SCRBLs, and delete the often very obvious spam. Yes. Thanks for suggesting spam Assassin. If it was reliable, I wouldn't be suggesting side stepping the etch-a-sketch version of dealing with spam to using SC block lists instead of SA. O
