Joon Lee Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Since I changed report method from mailsc server to webmail server via 'Report as spam ' button. It seems like my 'Avg.Reporting time' is not being updated. It always show '9 hours', but I believe it should be less than 4 hours. Because, last 2-3 months, I only reported 4 hours old spams only, and... lots of them reported..(50 a day) I know how it is calculated, because when I reported spams via mailsc server, if I work hard on reporting, it shows 3 hours and happy message with it~. Anyway, I'm sure it is NOT BEING UPDATED when the report is sent via webmail's 'Report' button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlyn Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Why does it really matter? You can only report spam that is 24 hours old or less. This feature should be removed......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joon Lee Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Well...Actually, it doesn't matter... but, I've been reported spams for fun. Just like.. scoring basketball game for Fast Reporting..... No Actual Purpose... just checking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The few spams I report through SpamCop (the paste-it-into-the-box web-form) are handled within minutes of receiving them. Yet, my current time is showing 9 hours. This number has been built up from one spam submitted that took it from something like a couple of hours (been so long, I don't remember) to something off the wall like 14 days. In theory, impossible, but ... I ignore that time comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I fear your average, like mine, is faced with the facts of mathamatics. With the delays caused by the current outages my average has gone from 1 hour to 2 hours. If my record has been 50 per day for the last 30 days, I would need to submit 1500 spam with a delay of ZERO to get the average back down to 1 hour. [ (50 per day X 30 days X 2 hrs) / 1500 = 2 hrs ((50 pre day X 30 days X 2 hrs) + (50 per day X 30 more days X 0hrs)) / 3000 = 1 hr ] the more things you take the average of, the less effect one item (or a group of items) has on the over all average. sorry.

Jeff G. Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 You can only report spam that is 24 hours old or less.26991[/snapback] I thought it was 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 My paid account just dropped back to 10 days Should only take another 10 years of reporting to get reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I thought it was 48 hours. Much confusion .. the parser will reject on the 38 hour trigger The BL response to reports is a bit ever-changing http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/297.html ... where once upon a time, the standard answer bot being on the list was "up to 48 hours" .. the line "The SCBL will not list an IP address if there are no reports against it within 24 hours." kind of makes that 38 hour thing seem wrong .. and yet, looking at the formula above in that FAQ ...??? A bit hard to say which takes precedance, the time on the list, the formula, or the threshold (which I don't even see mentioned now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
