IPv6 support for spamcop reports

[shentino]

I've been getting a lot of spam lately in my inbox that can't be reported because spamcop appears to be choking on IPv6 style addressess in the headers.

[Lking]

Is it IPv6 or gmail?

[spamtrap63]

I dealt with this problem years ago by 'simply' renaming any Received: fields that contained ipv6 addresses to "X-Received-ipv6:" before submitting.

Spamcop then accepts and processes it normally, and the information is preserved.

[spamtrap63]

Using perl:

use Regexp::IPv6 qw($IPv6_re);

# prototype
sub filteripv6($);

# get your mail msg into $mail via stdin or open file, then
...
my $newmail = filteripv6($mail);

# do submit or save for submit as you like...
...

exit;
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# replace received fields if ipv6 for spamcop
sub filteripv6($) {
    my $msg=shift;
    my ($header,$body) = split (/\r?\n\r?\n/, $msg, 2);
    $header=~s/\r\n/\n/gs;
    $header=~s/\n[ \t]+/\t/gs; # unwrap
    my $NewHeader="";
    foreach my $line (split(/\n/, $header)) {
        if ($line =~ /^Received:/i && $line =~ /$IPv6_re/) {
            $line =~ s/^Received:/X-Received-ipv6:/i;
        }
        $line=~s/\t/\n\t/sg; # rewrap
        $NewHeader.=$line. "\n";
    }
    $msg=$NewHeader."\n".$body;
    return($msg);
}

I'm using the "show original" button in my gmail on a spam, and copypasting that into the spamcop report.  That part is where the error shows up.

Gmail seem to be the ONLY loons doing this?
 

presently gmail headers 2nd line needs deleting before submitting. Trouble is ISP's need FULL headers as evidence so past deleted line in comments

When I delete the line suggested, then I get the following:

Parsing header:

This header is incomplete. Please supply the full headers of the spam you're trying to report.

No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

No tracking information found in header:

Probably not full headers - see FAQ:

no header

What to do?  My gmail-spam is increasing. :-(

Knitter have you used the search tool in the upper right of this screen to look for "gmail" or "IPv6"

Yes, I have, several times, and I found that the problem has existed at least since 2004. I have tried the suggestions that I found, but till now nothing has worked.

Sorry, if I did something wrong by posting here.

spelling error

I suggest you start a thread in "Reporting Help" and provide a Tracking URL for a spam that has this problem. That way others who use gmail will be able to make better suggestions. (I will then move you OP to the new thread.

Works for me yesterday? You have done nothing wrong.the Gmail parsing has only become a problem this year?

A tracking URL would show whats wrong  found at top of page BEFORE you submit. Removed 2nd line from headers
