petew Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I'm fed up with several hundred mail bounces, I'd like to change my SC id, how do I go about this? Peter (pw[at]spamcop.net)
Wazoo Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Had you already looked at some of the other Topics in here? For example, try this link and read though other experiences / thoughts / even news on this problem: http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=342
petew Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 Yeah, I had seen that. I think the most effective way is to change my id That thread mentions that the spammers are sending messages with 2 char spamcop user names, like mine. Peter
Jeff G. Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Please email "support at spamcop.net" about this issue. Thanks!
petew Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks. The bounces seem to originate from just 2 postmaster addresses, I have decided on the tactic of blacklisting these.
Wazoo Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 not that I'd ever have recommended a one or two letter address, that you chose to investigate and come to these results is actually good news. I saw that you'd said you'd seen the other thread, and had picked up on the incoming random issues ... but what I didn't see was the point I'd made there that changing your address would solve this immediate issue, but didn't do anything to prevent the day your new address made the hit list ... so that just changing to a new one wasn't the cure to everything ....

I had the idea that changing address to something longer that 2 characters would help. Also anything sent to my 2 character uid would not get forwared to me.

petew Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 Yeah, why not. The 2 I was talking about are : postmaster[at]bellnexxia.net postmaster[at]blueyonder.co.uk And today : mailer-daemon[at]mx.mcn.ru
