Exploring other avenues for reporting spam

[LaserMoon]

Hello,

I know SpamCop works by reporting spam to infrastructure providers (targeting the servers sending the emails and those hosting the resources linked to in the body of the emails).

A comment posted on this forum on July 16, 2020 suggested that spam sent from Germany can also be reported to allgemeiner-spam@internet-beschwerdestelle.de (+ another address for illegal content).

This got me thinking, what other avenues are there?

• Maybe a specific server provider uses a web form, not an email address (like Hetzner, in the linked thread, or Gmail).
• Maybe a specific server provider won't accept reports from SpamCop, but will accept them if you send them yourself (AWS EC2).
• Maybe a specific domain registrar will take action on a reported domain, if that domain is present in certain trusted blacklists.
• Maybe more national governments have a dedicated email address where spam can be reported.
• Maybe there is a GDPR avenue for servers hosted in some EU countries.

My question is, has anyone put together a guide for how to best target spam based on origin?

Each country has a "Computer emergency response team" (CERT) which can override abuse desks. 
They often give a ISP a "hurry-up" order to get things fixed

The problem is a lot of these addresses are run by companies just for their company,
This creates confusion because many are not English and hard to differentiate between business and Government!
