I reported my held mail as normal last night before bed and when I checked my mail today the message was flaged in my mailbox as I was the spammer and sent the message. So I have a email from my abuse desk asking whats going on.

See message below:

And another one from my isp abuse desk, spamcop traced it to my machine it says and it's pretty locked down, so the spammers must have found a way to fool spamcop or spamcop is not tracing the headers right:

1. Are these messages that YOU have reported.

2. If so, do you have Mailhosts configuration complete?

Posting the spam here is not needed or wanted. We would need to see the tracking URL from the results report for the messages to see why it is reporting your IP address. This is another case where all reports should be at least looked at for accuracy.

I have no idea if I reported it or not, I might have... I have gotten abuse emails with a link to spamcop, if I respond to the spamcop message it comes into my mailbox, so I am guessing I reported it.....

This is the spamcop logic...

No idea what is needed to I copied and pasted it...

Thanks, Owen

To take DavidT's query one more level ... did you configure MailHost for "this account" I think is the issue. .. or for some reason, this account was never completed .. .. but, need to point out that you were the one that "allowed / directed" these spam reports to go out to your own ISP.

I haven't changed a thing for sometime now with my mail setup. I completed my mailhost setup months ago!! I guess I can run it again and see what happens.

As for reporting it as spam, I get about 100 to 400 spams a day and I look down the held mail list for misstakes and then report the spam.

Unless your crystal ball works 1000 times better than mine, I have no idea how you can identify a forgery or predict exactly how the parcer is going to handle all the headers and links in each message by simply looking down the held mail list for misstakes

That approach works great for finding false positives, but thats about all
