jimabbeypress Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 For the past few days, every spam report I have submitted results in a response from Spamcop saying I did not include the IP headers, even though the headers WERE submitted. In other words: 1. I forwarded the spam message, with headers, to Spamcop. 2. An email comes back from Spamcop Autoresponder. 3. I click on the web link in that email. 4. The resulting web page says: Skip to reports Parsing header (So far, this is all as in previous months, but now ...) No source IP address found, cannot proceed. Has something changed in the Spamcop software to reject my recent submissions? -- jim nagel in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Please post tracking URLs for one or two of those spams. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimabbeypress Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 These are the links supplied in the two latest (today) emails from Spamcop Autoresponder: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z288975632ze8...20d6e398912a8az http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z289004227z44...34e69aaec44386z --jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 From those links, there appear to be no headers at all. Can you please post the headers of one spam you are trying to report, and the method you are using to get the full headers and body to the SpamCop Parsing and Reporting System (munging where necessary)?

jimabbeypress Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 i have posted copies of my last two attempted submissions (the same ones whose references i posted here a few minutes ago) on my website. tried to copy-and-paste them here, but all lines beginning with Tab disappeared. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/jim.nagel/spam1.txt and spam2.txt --jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Are you adding the following line to the submission message or only to the web page? Any claim that I "opted in" to receive this junkmail is a lie. I don't think spamcop wants anything other than the spam message in the email submissions. It should see the headers of the incoming message (which it skips), the blank line to start the DATA portion of the email submission, which will be the headers from the spam message, a blank line to identify the DATA portion of the spam message and the body of the spam message. Did you recently add that to your submission process? Perhaps spamcop has tightened down even further what it will accept? (no proof, just speculation if nothing has changed on the OP's end) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimabbeypress Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 no, i have not recently added that line about "any opt-in claim is a lie". i'm submitting my reports in exactly the same way as i have done for a long time. but i'll try taking the line out, and see if i get better result. will post something here if that cures it. --jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naulls Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I am having exactly the same problem. submitting a spam report returns: No source IP address found, cannot proceed. Header *does* contain a source IP address. This only started happening a couple of days ago; I am doing nothing different from usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naulls Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 What email program are you using? What format are you using to forward the spams? "as attachment"? "inline"? "quoted"? I use Eudora 5.1. I cut and paste the entire e-mail (using Notepad in case Eudora conceals anything) into the spamcop.net web page. I have also tried forwarding to the submit. address, but I get the following error message back: SpamCop encountered errors while saving spam for processing: SpamCop could not find your spam message in this email: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing this when you try the 2-part form: open the email in eudora; click the blahblahblah button copy the headers only to the top input box place the cursor in the body of the spam in eudora and right click and view source which should popup a window with the body of the spam in unrendered text copy/past that to the second SC input form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the problem has now gone away! I am now able to paste messages into the all-in-one submission form and it works perfectly, as before. Anybody know what's changed?
