Lion Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There's almost certainly nothing I can do about this but it seems unbelievable so I needed to vent. Tracking message source: 209.85.160.72: Routing details for 209.85.160.72 [refresh/show] Cached whois for 209.85.160.72 : arin-contact[at]google.com abuse[at]google.com bounces (99 sent : 118 bounces) Using best contacts No reporting addresses found for 209.85.160.72, using devnull for tracking. Really? abuse[at]google.com bounces? And there's no other place I can report it to so... this guy just gets away with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 <snip> so... this guy just gets away with it? ...No, you have done your part to contribute to the statistics SpamCop uses to decide whether to place the spam source (outgoing e-mail IP address) on its blacklist. Sending a complaint to the Abuse address is just an extra little service SpamCop tries to provide. You could also try to send an abuse complaint directly to abuse[at]google.com -- sometimes services will bounce reports from SpamCop but not from individuals.

cwg Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 "I heard back from the Google team and they confirmed that they do use spam cop input for identifying spam as well as internal signals. In the meantime if the spam cop admin is not able to submit the reports, the reporting abuse form is the best option. --- --- DID YOU FIND A REPLY HELPFUL?
