No source IP address found, cannot proceed

[Dv_]

Hi,

I have a problem with one of my mail account.

Every mail comming from this account submited to Spamcop is rejected, error message is "No source IP address found, cannot proceed".

I know that my mail provider (Ovh.net) is using a spam filter, and that tags are added to mails (see the probably spam & all X added to the headers).

Is this the reason why I can't submit my mails to spamcop ?

Or is there something wrong with something else in the headers ?

Thanks for your help.

Here is an exemple of the headers rejected by Spamcop (personnal informations are hidden by XXXXX) :

Before anyone can help we need to know:

Exactly how are you submitting your spam?

What e-mail client are you using?

If forwarding, in-line or as attachment?

Unfortunately, this message-board messes up the header info so it is difficult to diagnose a problem from a cut and paste here. Please provide a tracking URL so that we can see the original. Thanks.

Thanks for your answer.

Most of the time, I submit via MailwasherPro.

I've tried the copy/paste method on Spamcop's website (full headers+body), and to forward the mail too (as an attachment, using Outlook Express 6) but both ended with the same results...

Ok, no problem, here is one : http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z612613345z7f...c1a76d1e95d5c2z

Thanks a lot.

I am no expert on headers but can't see much wrong here. There are those on this forum who are much better than I who may spot something but we'll have to wait for America to wake up

For what it's worth, that IP seems to one of hundreds of trojanned machines on a broadband connection in Mexico. Needless to say, no reverse DNS.

Problem appears to be that you have started reporting spam before completing the mail-host configuration process .... these are the data lines I see in your sample;

0: Received: from unknown (HELO emailrecorder.com) (201.135.151.137) by mx3.ovh.net with SMTP; 16 Aug 2004 05:20:58 -0000

No unique hostname found for source: 201.135.151.137

Possible forgery. Supposed receiving system not associated with any of your mailhosts

Will not trust anything beyond this header

No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

Add/edit your mailhost configuration

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This line woud seem to be your next step to take, if this is the way your e-mail really does flow.
