victory3x3 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 As of today, this no longer works for me. Any other ways to do this? Yes, Yahoo has broken themselves again with their latest upgrade, pretty, but technically useless for us. Their undocumented "shift-alt-f" worked until their last upgrade. In fact, for me (attempted on Firefox, Chrome, IE) their own "view full header" selection doesn't even work, so now you can do absolutely nothing to report spam. I've sent them a support email that asks why every other large provider (Gmail, Outlook, AOL, etc.) has found a way to get full sourcecode in two clicks and why they make it so inconvenient/impossible to do the same, each and every single time they "upgrade" their email. Since they've abolished working from home and have all their employees available for "better collaboration/innovation," there's no excuse not to see some results and get up to speed with industry standards.

kluless Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 their own "view full header" selection doesn't even work, so now you can do absolutely nothing to report spam. There's a new View Full Header link - when you're viewing the spam, click on More at the bottom of the message, the View Full Header link there does work. At least it does using FF on my desktop...

goofy173 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) There's a new View Full Header link - when you're viewing the spam, click on More at the bottom of the message, the View Full Header link there does work. At least it does using FF on my desktop... Ok, so I see that, and I copy and paste it into spamcop, and it says it has no body. So this does not work. However I did copy and paste the full header back into the message at the top, then sent it to Spamcop, and that worked! A little harder than before, but at least possible. See my message here http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13574 where I set out the steps to report it within Yahoo. More clicks but not so bad.

turetzsr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 <snip> I copy and paste it into spamcop, and it says it has no body. <snip> ...Please forgive me if this is an entirely stupid question but, taking what you wrote at face value, I can not resist inquiring: did you insert a blank line at the end of those headers and then also paste in the spam body (or, if the actual spam body was empty, paste in some text like "[no body]")?

MattB253 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) There is a setting that you can change in yahoo, that will allow you to forward as an attachment still using the shift-alt-f method. If you go into your yahoo mail settings, and turn off conversation(s), it works. I've tested two forward as attachment emails to my spamcop reporting address, and it finds the headers. Hope this helps everyone. Edited October 20, 2013 by MattB253 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farelf Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks for the observations guys, glad to see there's a way through. I've been stranded for a month with just an iPad (totally unfamiliar device apparently optimized to frustrate anyone over 40) and unable to try out the recent suggestions as they unfolded but you seem to have "cracked it".

goofy173 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I believe something has changed with Yahoo mail. Up until a few days ago, the Shift-Alt-F was working for me to report spam, however now every spam I report says it can't report because of no date.

Here's what it says: Host 98.139.210.161 (checking ip) IP not found ; 98.139.210.161 discarded as fake. Sorry, SpamCop has encountered errors: The email sample you submitted for xxxxx[at]yahoo.com appears to traverse more than one domain. Please ensure that you configure each mailhost individually and in order. Then going thru all that it gets to a point where I can request a waiver, so I did, but it's been awhile and I've heard nothing. So what changed? As I've said many times, it was fine a few weeks ago. No change on my end. Using the same Win7, computer, everything, since it was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofy173 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So I made no change, but this one seem to report fine, which is a first in a while: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z5890220220z3...3a9d13ea70958dz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVNicholson Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 When reporting spam e-mail using Spamcop, I have started to frequently get the error message "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source". Therefore, I attempted to fix my mailhost configuration; but I continue to get the error message with a number of spam e-mails (which has recently grown to be the majority of the spam that I receive, I think). In my attempts to fix my mailhost configuration, I ran all the tests for hosts with my main e-mail provider (Yahoo) and removed hosts for two e-mail addresses that are no longer active (i.e. Freeserve/ Orange and leeds.ac.uk). I seem to get problems either if I use the cut-and-paste method to report e-mail (i.e. obtaining the header with "View Full Header" and cutting and pasting the body of the message separately) or the Shift-Alt-F method to forward the entire message, including the full header, as an attachment. I had a look in the forums for users with similar problems. I have already contacted service[at]spamcop.net to report difficulties of this kind with spam reporting. I received a reply that Yahoo had made changes to their headers; and that the SpamCop admin had made the necessary fixes to the reporting service. However, I am still getting the mailhost configuration and other related errors with the majority of my reported spam at the moment. From manually examining the content of headers, it looks like Yahoo routes high volume e-mail (including spammers) via other servers; but that may be either totally wrong or not responsible for the difficulties. I have included output for a recent failed spam report below. I would be interested in suggestions for workarounds, up to and including suggesting alternatives to SpamCop for spam reporting (although I don't think there are any similar free or free-ish services currrently in existence), William X-Apparently-To: x via 98.139.244.196; Sun, 18 May 2014 09:14:35 +0000 X-YahooFilteredBulk: 69.95.226.24 Received-SPF: none (domain of mail.mn does not designate permitted sender hosts) X-YMailISG: WPfrl2sWLDseYx32DFRpq5xCuZN88.HL0s7woTovLBiCIlAs I_tiKs93UinqkzzHwy7mPtAxnQcLE..r4yPW_upCsz2pkKhKJ0iztcGt.olk f3gL2R.Ugpc5r8xoEy_cY7LjT71thPyjSuy8LoNKbNdplBboU_ZRkQ.nVm.F aU8eMN6_4MryFVEUjvF4ySQNa8nFOrCRNsqxQAeIJ73XkC5315I1Rhwgkb1B bG8DG_RkdvHFg5NApExvIK3vmT.AWUKnS5Th7t1.pwSF.8sRl9nd9hs4j9Aj _yPRrstIrehljVaXTRqLEB0Gd1X4CSI1Akrw75ais2Asl7Arj994XN2LA7oW VuUzQYOc_49iiSAR5BJl11AC3Wh7lM8RpjdsJ2SzS7vKFxPE1u1FX5iV4eyj PIR6JnH19vJdMuhDmhuSIUsRVWmF9ogfgzSzXArP2EFyJeCyR1g9rajVpdVl EztbQYClje4BykEc2xO9ZloguzYJJcRZ59YGeKkyF3X2151qKCXu3CmziTEv TF2N44QT_e1GMQ4e6kgAnYicse2e9VL6xVe8ouTQ0yG0v0oECRY9WWWwkldU uJmj.3qqu8HTtRrqzUnqRIUY7yQ9MDCgvWvBkM8B3RXGeZDZCcs5caw7Ii75 4B0hNyVeP5b5DB3SvcOyrb6UxXjHEBPguKbDdauMpfopXIy.HZGRhSH2l5IJ 1rpH0Twc190OEO_NdR3gKduJoYeoY9EIq3d78FOXgOsw3n5hr5irW8JvuJbG h8Ld6ft8UIuWs7MXouXKtMk4IO3uAz2_g_e3E97ZXUl2CHUm8mpcq5J0MCpS JbDjFF2Bb1uwuvSAgFCIMpsSbjX9YcVALYUc995XNQSKg47He56rrgUQVkxO UmPONt01PFX.iGdxxNd4ukJWtJhh0gg36oIdrQeiv8GQIYQceimf6uOQAFUJ 85fVffEAQEM3KORST1HeKPeBrIvzVqSvQsj3YhRo9KZ1jD7hn6XBgucQz7h_ oHHgIQw60QErKfEMv4aPCRVvOLzTzT.WDXBrO1J9D8B5FZ1.Jl6TS9BFv4bA DbWD_iY6YR9elsbyi_ae2P1U72hq0I9LevvehxJPOTQfKx9hAsf3MyxpTvxO eSLpmCKJQCX0hh9h8.qJBgRaaQStLVj7.sBcq_YE6bDEuKrXzff4eGvKEMkY X1NMiPf4_Et.NWV2DIi7tZ5YgfbInL68ehLEvbjQWH_AqHjq7cpJUe2nRd8O QRfV6.VvPW4zzq..aGTIwVbhjnop6UvSexDoXm1SONDlx_7unuClXlgL9XjD CKrA7qgwoxuqW1uDFNYEEUfaBnLwxpcPLlsb_h4M5PwLWHsdGp1EzlY.27PL 8NKO55gIXfVCiYrWWi0u41A_TfS.kRQL5N2KgS2joTwA_5BLo15pWs5AcPAy TDqpKEJ4z6e0B5e5Jmij25JbKFQXbswJp29EK5PZY0uyyLdAANU- X-Originating-IP: [69.95.226.24] Authentication-Results: mta1291.mail.ne1.yahoo.com from=mail.mn; domainkeys=neutral (no sig); from=mail.mn; dkim=neutral (no sig) Received: from 98.139.244.196 (98.139.244.196) by 72.30.236.214(72.30.236.214); Sun, 18 May 2014 09:14:35 +0000 Received: from 127.0.0.1 (HELO smtpbig004.onecommunications.net) (EHLO mta1291.mail.ne1.yahoo.com) (69.95.226.24) by mta1291.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sun, 18 May 2014 09:14:34 +0000 Received: (qmail 16678 invoked from network); 18 May 2014 09:14:19 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO ?192.168.1.5?)

WVNicholson Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi, goofy173, ...Please use the search tool at the top of any SpamCop Forum page for: Yahoo "discarded as fake" 2014 and peruse the articles whose links are returned . The search as you describe it actually gives the error message: One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords. Presumably you did not actually try this search yourself, or you would know that it doesn't work. I think the word that causes the problem is "as" although it is embedded in a phrase in quotation marks. Searching with: Yahoo discarded fake 2014 gives 17 pages of results which is a substantial number (very roughly 400?) of topics/ threads to search through manually for relevant help, William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 William, Steve T's search (exactly as posted) should return this page https://www.google.com/search?cof=S%3Ahttp%...rum.spamcop.net - which is a more manageable 6 results, hopefully one or more of which will assist. Without the quotes it still only returns 10 results. I think perhaps you used [Enter words to search...][GO] window control on the index page or the the "Search" link (any page) above that. Steve meant the - [search for -->] [..................] [GO] [spamCop Forum & SpamCop FAQ][â–¼] window (any page) - even further up the page. I've confused myself with the differing searches time enough before now - yes, they're each a little different in how they work.

goofy173 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I got the mailhost waiver, but it did not help. http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z5893492432z7...7c9679d2d6b742z I've used Spamcop for many years, and even paid for the service for a few of those, but honestly, it doesn't do any good to report them anymore, and being that now many of mine can't report from Yahoo, I'm going to move on and just ignore spam. Yahoo does a pretty good job putting spam in the spam folder. I only get like 2 a week and I've had this Yahoo address since Yahoo bought Geocities so my address is all over the place on the Interweb Tubes. Thanks for all your help but It's time for me to go.
