purpleboo18 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hello, why hasn't the spam stopped after faithfully reporting the same email address for months? They send me a few every day. I requested unsubscribe but they ignore it. I don't really want to pay for more reporting if you can't stop the spam. The address is: - martin.cox81 at gmail.com. It is from that Binary Options scammer. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sorry to hear you are getting spammed. We all have been on a prolific spammer's emailing list at one time or another. I hate to say that 1 hour ago, purpleboo18 said: I requested unsubscribe but they ignore it. has guaranteed that you will get even more spam from this source. By responding, you let the spammer know that your email address is valid AND someone reads the email to fine the "Unsubscribe" link. Unfortunately an unscrupulous spammer or ISP will ignore the spam reports sent for you by SpamCop and there is nothing anyone can do about that. However, by continuing to report a given spammer, even when they cycle through several IP addresses, their IP address will be added to the SpamCop Block List, used by many ISPs to filter their clients incoming email. If your email ISP does not use the SCBL that is not much help for you I am afraid. You do collect the good karma for your efforts. If you would provide an example Tracking URL it would help others here to give you more guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz42 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would think about building your own email server. This is what I have done, now I can block by IP or sender address easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I have done, now I can block by IP or sender address easily. I ran my own mail server for a few years, until the machine I was using gave up on me. Weighing up the options, and fine-tuning the automated processes for dealing with unwanted incoming mail can take a little bit of work, but it can be extremely satisfying. I never got round to setting up my own RBL/DNSBL, but that's one of the things I'd consider if I did ever run my own server again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmail in my experience does not respond to problem reports from Spamcop and their reputation means they don't ever get blocked by anyone. You may have better results reporting the problem directly to Gmail, and much better results by receiving spam from this person into a Gmail account and marking it as spam.
