    Probably used that password there also?

    After linkedin got hacked a few years back, I went to unique passwords so I could tell who and where the hack occurred.

    Somebody in the Ukraine created a spotify account with my gmail address

     I had this happen to me recently but it was spotify, instragram, pinterest, and netflix.  What I found was interesting with netflix is they appeared to be using the account to get a free month since they did not verify the email before allowing services.  I am not a fan of single-opt-in services nor have I been for over two decades.

    I was PM'ed by someone who told me I need to talk to a staff or mod to have a new spamcop ID assigned to see if that fixes it. Just wondering how I do that.

    I did have see some delays this morning, but you said it happened this past year.  Last time I had this happen to me (where all inbound emails were lost) I had a "SMTP disabled" with a button to reenable on the reporting page.  If you do not have this button, I would suggest you contact the deputies at deputies[at]admin[dot]spamcop[dot]net as per https://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/12.html.  I believe they have the ability to look at mail servers logs to help in the research.

    Though gnarlymarley's question was obviously not for me, I have the exact same problem: spinning circle to the left of the blue refresh button.

    I am not sure what I was thinking either.  I went back to look at Ostap's post and he has the image with the spinning wheel.  I think I was just asking for confirmation.

    Nope, it's a Win10. Turned off my antivirus, same thing. I even tried in a virtualbox Win10 with a completely fresh install/Chrome - same thing.

    Interesting.  I have tried this with this on edge, internet explorer, chrome, and firefox on win10, win vista, and win 7 and it seems to work for me.  I also tried it with chrome on android and works.  I have both AVG and avast, but web http filter is turned off for me.  (My win10 is a work computer and uses the work's proxy filter, so I might not be able to duplicate the issue on my win10.)

    By the way, all the e-mail servers that send the same spam are at completely random server providers. Therefore, I do not know how Spamcop would handle this.

    They sent it from different ISP to limit how quickly their IP is put into a blocklist.  If they can jump around enough, their can keep sending out their spam for days.  Now if everyone who got it reported it, we could get them on the block lists faster.  This is why they like to remotely use routers and IP cameras to send their spam as they don't care if good people get blocked.  SpamCop does have requirements to be added to the blocking list.  My guess is what you saw for the change from Mivocloud to Psychz is that either they wanted to change, or Mivocloud turned off their service and the spammer moved on.

    (In my opinion, the faster we inconvience the spammer, they less they will desire to spam.)

    I have to understand if there is some I can do to stop this flooding.

     The source is fixed, so should be very simple to identify the responsible.

    If the administrator doesn't care (or is even supportive of the spammer's actions), then that it will continue.  What I did in the past (because they kept jumping around on IPs) was to block the whole IP range first in a firewall, then I did my own block list.  This got their attention and they moved on to another ISP.

    Keep reporting them they may get on he SpamCop Blocklist, Cisco is likely to add the spammers ISP, silently, add to their and owners/customers of their servers blacklist,

    This might be an issue as if you have the block list enable, then the reports stop and the IP falls off the list quicker.  Hopefully, they run across a spamtrap which I believe it will continue to accept spam while it is on the block list.

    apparently the first block is not listed in any BL:

    Being on a BL is only as useful if your email server/spam filter is configured to use it.  A lot of providers discount BLs these days because some honest people can be blocked.

    Pay to forward the spam you receive to "abuse[AT]mapp[DOT]com" include full text and body.

    Some admins have got overwhelmed by spam reports and just blocked all of SpamCop.  Having a report sent by other means might cause the admin to ignore and block reports those too.  I would prefer if the admins would just take action quicker rather than to just hit the delete all button.

    Gmail/other throwaway accounts, need to confirm email accounts say a week later aside from their auto-ack and remove anything in their "cloud accounts"

    The problem with the week delay will be a similar reason why people complain about being on the blocking list.  Spammers will use it to somehow deny real legitimate customers access.  There will be some fine line somewhere where they could get it to work, but I don't know where that line is.  It is interesting that spamassassin has three sections, not spam, spam, and an overlapping area.  As a real person, I wouldn't want to wait a week but I do agree that spammers should wait.  (But then with enough money, the spammers would probably sign up as a business and they would probably bypass the delay.)

    Keep in mind that the links in the body of the spam are the lowest priority for the parser.

    I think there is a reason behind this policy.  I had a report head to an administrator about two decades ago under this policy and the administrator confused a link as the originator of the spam rather than to look at the headers.  The link happened to be my work's website at the time, so they kept blaming me for the spam.  That administrator was for a prominent university and I would have thought they knew better.  Before that, I also wanted the links to be reported, but after I realized that some links could be friendlies added by the spammer to get into trouble.  As an administrator I would like to know about people using my site in their spam, but I also realized that some of these administrators might not know how to read email or even understand spam reports.

    I believe the original reason they stopped reporting when too many links was resources because each report could create many new emails to each administrator.

    BUT lately, just about EVERY piece after running through spamcop shows up as google as the source. 

    I had a spammer try to use the google cloud, but they sent it to my spamtrap.  Mysteriously everything got reported and they appears to be kicked off the google cloud.

    Now?   ALL GOOGLE and some 9 or more a day.  Almost all with similar messages.  Something medical.  Burn fat, keto diet, pills.... like that.  I got on someones spam list and that spammer just happens to be abusing google.  I would hope after they got enough complaints they might track it down.

    My guess is if we keep up reporting it, the spammers will give up on using google's systems.  The speed of reporting seems to have a great effect on causing the spammers to no longer want to waste their time setting up a google cloud server.

    Received: from user-PC..home ([197.234.221.105]) (authenticated bits=0) by relay1.macrois.de (8.14.5/8.13.8/SuSE Linux 0.8) with ESMTP id 02FGIUm2032655;

    The issue is the double dot in the Received line.  The two dots make this an invalid record.  If you change it to a single dot, it should submit.

    Does google even care about spamcop complaints?  Cause they sure don't care about user complaints directly, (about ANYTHING.)

    From my experience, google seems to better to external people than to their own users.  From the spam I reported that came from the google cloud, it seems mine stopped in about two weeks.  Sure is much faster than amazon's two months...

    the last header is as mentioned, then there's a blank line, and the first line of text from the message reads:

    The body of yours seems missing, so I resubmitted with a new body and I get the same thing.  There seems to be a problem somewhere else in the headers that is confusing.  If you look at my completely changed message ID line as below, then you can see that the message body (from the View entire message link) seems to be put onto the end of the messageID line (from the tracking URL).  There seems to be something else than just the $nul that is going on here.

    I am sending the spam FROM my work email and normally receive the reports to my gmail.  It's possible my work email is blocking them.

    I so sent in spam reports from a different email and I do currently get it going back to my email like you expect.  I did have a recently time where I tried to forward a spam using gmail to amazon and google blocked it.  This is one of those situations where I like to see the bounce.  (However, I do not like the bounce after accept when it is from externally.)  If it is being blocked by your work there might be an option where you can go into the sent item and see a sending status there.

    I occasionally get similar bounces.  Gmail occasionally flags the account as being a spammer, even though we are actually trying to send spam complaints.  I was told it was because I had too many addresses in the Cc section of the email.

    Yep, it did come from google.  I guess having one recipient is too much for them.  I submitted it to amazon using a different account and it went through.  Funny how the original email is not blocked, but attempts to report it are.

  15. Well, now this is new.  I just got a bounce from amazon.  Hard to tell if gmail rejected my report to amazon or if amazon did.

    This (attached file) message received our users from recipient.

    Also one note, is that at one point a while back most of the mail servers allowed/required separate rbl and text response entries.  There were a number of administrators that copied the spamcop blacklist settings but changed only the dns part to point to their own blacklist and they left the text as blaming spamcop.  If this is still being blocked, but the IP is now showing up on the list, maybe they have pointed the blacklist to something like spamhaus.

    Another thing you might want to try is one of the following commands around the time an email is blocked.  If you do see a "NXDOMAIN" or a "SOA" record instead of an "A" record, they the block is not coming from SpamCop.

    dig any 43.38.225.195.bl.spamcop.net
    nslookup -type=any 43.38.225.195.bl.spamcop.net

     

  17. I don't see this listed in the blocking list.

    195.225.38.43 not listed in bl.spamcop.net

    Being a user as yourself, I also don't have access to view email addresses that may have caused any listing.  From https://www.spamcop.net/sc?track=195.225.38.43, it looks like abuse[at]gazprombank[dot]ru should have all the reports.  It takes more than one user or email address to be listed on the blocking list.  The abuse address should have most of those reports.
