el_gallo_azul Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 When I'm logged in to https://www.spamcop.net/, I usually report spam emails using the spamcop webform on that page. Occasionally, I receive a message that the spam email couldn't be found from the full header, or some other reason that it could not be processed. The page says: "Forward your spam to: submit.****************@spam.spamcop.net" ... which I have tried dozens of times over the years, but it has not worked once. I tried it today, and then received an email from spamcop: SpamCop AutoResponder <spamcop@devnull.spamcop.net> Para:el_gallo_azul@yahoo.com lun., 22 jun. a las 11:17 SpamCop encountered errors while saving spam for processing: SpamCop could not find your spam message in this email: Does forwarding an email actually work for anybody?

petzl Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Forward as ATTACHMENT might give results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean that, instead of forwarding the spam email, I: 1. "Print" the email to PDF? (or maybe copy the full header and paste it to a text file?); and 2. Save the new document; and 3. Create a new email, addressed to submit.****************@spam.spamcop.net; and 4. Attach the new document; and 5. Send an empty email with the new document attached to ****************@spam.spamcop.net? This is a genuine question, as I'd really like to know how to go about it.

Should be a option to "Forward as attachment " in your email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gallo_azul Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 I use Yahoo! Mail, since I want to be able to always access my email (irrespective of location and available hardware), and I can't find any "Forward as attachment" option. Do you happen to know if "Forward as attachment" actually just attaches a text file of the full email header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the "Forward as attachment" as an option in the webmail version.

That is basically what it is, so you can save the "raw message" as a notepad txt file and then attach it to a new message. Or else you can use something like the thunderbird email client that forward as an attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an extra step, but I'll do that when I am not able to report on the Spamcop webpage, which is quite rare. I won't use an email client.
