EkriirkE Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Spammers are tracking back who reports them by including the emails that get back to them via spamcop reports in the subject and body, example: encoded and segmented subject: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6641797254z619187ae372c6cec5509fadaf926d2baz segmented body: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6641801254z40077f70be652e542cfe9e7deb51e5faz My email is still visible. Note the first example is targeted at me directly for reporting them subject "You make compliant on Spamcorp my.visible.email erville?..." with a confusing body that pieces together a personalized message: Quote You make compliant on Spamcorp Why? There is Unsubscribe Link Why? We lost 0.5usd due to your compliant But you will receive many email everyday from now on Edited July 13, 2020 by EkriirkE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that do or might, I just decode it, strip out my address, and then reencode it. This might be a good feature to have and there are perl modules that can decode/encode it.
