remay Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Request for enhancements to the spamcop website page used for reporting: 1 - When "Unreported spam Saved: Report Now" is displayed, please add the number of unreported spams. It would be nice to see the progress when reporting to find out how close you are to being done. For example: Unreported spam Saved: Report Now [ 23 remaining ] 2 - When reporting spam via the email with attachment method, a lot of the emails have no detected website URL links, even though they EXIST in the body of the email. Yes, the email client being used to send the reports is outlook, but reports are being sent as ATTACHMENTS, so the "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;" lines shouldn't be a problem, correct?. Here is one scenario. If a spammer's website is repeated in the actual html link and label, it is not detected. In this example, asdsaezv1.com is NOT detected: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Message</TITLE> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV align=center><A href="http://www.sabsbmeds.com/tp/default.asp?id=GM02x"></A> <BR><BR><A href="http://www.asdsaezv1.com/">http://www.asdsaezv1.com/</A></'>http://www.asdsaezv1.com/">http://www.asdsaezv1.com/</A></DIV> <DIV align=center>chambers schuster apposition lithography blackmail hotbox notebook tanaka vial joke [3 </DIV></BODY></HTML> If a couple of spaces are inserted between the end of the link and the beginning of the label as shown below, then the URL IS detected: ><A href="http://www.asdsaezv1.com/"> http://www.asdsaezv1.com/</A></ 3 - Allow the maximum number of URLs (7) to be DISPLAYED when there are MORE than 7 URLs in the body. Right now, it just indicates "too many links". At least show SOME of those links, so at least SOME of the domains can be reported. Spamcop USED to display the maximum number, but for some reason was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 the email client being used to send the reports is outlook, but reports are being sent as ATTACHMENTS, so the "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;" lines shouldn't be a problem, correct?. This where Outlook has the falling down problem. You mention the partial header description of the "multi-part altrnative" .. anf the "norm" is to then have "boundary lines" to anchor those "multi-parts", which then have their own "Content-Type: " description lines. It's these (missing) boundary lines being mis-handled by Outlook that causes the issues. As far as the "too many links" .. I'll ask if perhaps you'd noticed Ellen's call for samples of bad spam (in Announcements), perhaps your examples of too many links fits the description of spam she's looking to collect for Julian's analysis.
