manchot Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Reported a phishing spam that came thru smtp.com yesterday: 5971584147 ( 192.40.177.60 ) To: support#smtp.com[at]devnull.spamcop.net The headsers themselves recommend abuse[at]smtp.com, although whois only has support[at]smtp.com; so I wrote to smtp.com who said they used to get spamcop reports but they mysteriously stopped a few months ago... They say they've found and killed the spammer's account.. so whassup? - manchot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Trouble is the parser defers to abuse net for smtp.com = support[at]smtp.com as you have seen and that address started bouncing reports "support[at]smtp.com bounces (99 sent : 99 bounces)" Looks like someone needs to update abuse.net, as you have also seen from whois.arin.net OrgAbuseEmail: abuse[at]smtp.com I see only two reports sent (to devnull) in the last 90 days but, if smtp.com are actually responsive, the small number of reports doesn't matter - something gets done. Hopefully either SC or smtp.com can sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpamCopAdmin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Reports to support[at]smtp.com have been disabled by administrative decision. - Don D'Minion - SpamCop Admin - - Service[at]Admin.SpamCop.net - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Assuming administrative decision = not just because of bounces. Marking "Resolved". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchot Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Assuming administrative decision = not just because of bounces. Marking "Resolved". Right.. so just what *does* "administrative decision" mean? Will SC start reporting to abuse[at]smtp.com ? They do seem responsive, so why wouldn't SC change their administrative decisions?? j.

turetzsr Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Right.. so just what *does* "administrative decision" mean? <snip> ...While I can not say for sure, I am interpreting "by administrative decision" to mean "for reasons we [spamCop staff] believe are good ones but upon which we prefer not to elaborate." Since it's their service (and they therefore have the right to make even arbitrary decisions about it) and I pay nothing for it, I am not in any position to argue, nor would I argue if I were -- I trust SpamCop staff to not be arbitrary in matters involving such decisions.
