SYNACK Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Suddenly, I've been gettting quite a few SPAMs that spamcop decides to report ti "routes1[at]routes.spamcop.net", for example: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z604269093z52...577daaa7c03136z I could not find any explanation on what this means exactly. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Perform a search on all forums for "routes.spamcop.net" and you will see several recent posts similiar to this with answers. 15203[/snapback] If you do this you may discover that the above two messages are the only ones that mention "routes.spamcop.net" Since all of my spams now have that as a reporting address, I have discovered that we are just seeing a representation of where the email is going instead of showing us the real address. If you want to see past questions about routes1[at]routes.spamcop.net you will have to do a second search for older articles. My latest spam report is: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z604791049zbf...14b082b5e1d128z and that was sent to: routes1[at]routes.spamcop.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 IF you searched on all forums, like I mentioned, you would have found about 37 post before. There are 38 now. I did test my directions before giving them. http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?...pamcop.net&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYNACK Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Thanks, I found it. Before the original post I only searched for "routes1" and nothing showed up. Anyway, there is something special about this particular spammer, because he has found a way to fool Brightmail (Comcast). I've been getting about 5/day of these for the last week (never seen them before that!), all different messages (except for the "routes1" clue), all have been reported to brightmail via the "This is spam" button, but yet they keep landing in the inbox 100% of the time :angry: . Brightmail better adjust their system, but this is a story for elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipCurl Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Im getting this reporting address, for all the spams being sent by provenservices.com . A Billy Waggoner (sp?) operation. He has about 1000 domains registered, that are using provenservices.com for spamming. Provenservices.com Here are some of the "subjects" of the spam being sent ( I am only getting the routes1 reporting address for these spams; Im now at received over 40 a day, for the last 2 weeks): "Receive a Free Sony DVD Handycam" Get a 30" Flat Screen- complimentary to you! Women just can't resist. Get great quality pictures with a Free 6.3 Megapixel Canon Camera! Need to stop smoking? -Complimentary Computer- Dell Inspirion Notebook Want a Free Flat Screen? They are pretty easy to spot because the "sender" usually have Market, Newsletter, Research, Health in their names. Of course being sent to a spamtrap, its hard for me to sign up for a newsletter I never agreed to receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
