Steve Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6571118445z3f089fb00c95557d5b0557565f4701efz Why do reporting addresses for either an IP address associated with an email or a link in the email that SC finds an IP to associate with bounce and why does the ISP/host do nothing to fix it? Here's an example of a recent email below: Quote Tracking link: http://lustergroup.com/calendar/uncongenially_roussette.html [report history]Host lustergroup.com (checking ip) = 110.4.46.157Resolves to 110.4.46.157Routing details for 110.4.46.157[refresh/show] Cached whois for 110.4.46.157 : noc-abuse@mschosting.com noc@mschosting.comUsing abuse net on noc-abuse@mschosting.comabuse net mschosting.com = tmcops@tm.net.my, postmaster@mschosting.com, postmaster@eastgate.net.my, postmaster@myloca.com, abuse@tm.net.my, hostmaster@mschosting.com, abuse@mschosting.comUsing best contacts tmcops@tm.net.my postmaster@mschosting.com postmaster@eastgate.net.my postmaster@myloca.com abuse@tm.net.my hostmaster@mschosting.com abuse@mschosting.comtmcops@tm.net.my bounces (21 sent : 12 bounces) Using tmcops#tm.net.my@devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking. postmaster@mschosting.com bounces (261 sent : 131 bounces) Using postmaster#mschosting.com@devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking. postmaster@eastgate.net.my bounces (257 sent : 129 bounces) Using postmaster#eastgate.net.my@devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking. postmaster@myloca.com bounces (280 sent : 147 bounces) Using postmaster#myloca.com@devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking. abuse@tm.net.my redirects to abuse@tm.com.myhostmaster@mschosting.com bounces (261 sent : 131 bounces) Using hostmaster#mschosting.com@devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking.

RobiBue Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 looking up the abuse.net db on mschosting .com shows the aforementioned list... https://www.abuse.net/lookup.phtml?domain=mschosting.com hostmaster and postmaster addresses are AFAIR quite old (10+ years) and often not used anymore... therefore the bounces. The tmcops address could be an old entry as well and it was never updated... There is also another possibility that all the addresses DO exist, but they have been either neglected or forgotten and the mailbox filled up and overflowed... ergo another bounce... Officially, APNIC lists noc-abuse for the mentioned IP address as the abuse address https://dnslytics.com/whois-lookup/110.4.46.157 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in part why I have to check my whois for my domain every few months to make sure it is correct. I am not sure if they have the same requirement for the whois for IP addresses.
