[Resolved] recipients question...

Recommended Posts

In the preference settings for SC reporting, there is a box which states

you can add addresses you want all your spam reports sent as well as resolved addresses.

So I'd like to include my ISP's abuse desk and the UCE[at]ftc address for

s&g. I assume you can input 2 addresses in that box separated by commas

and I think that is in the Help section. So now I've decided to stop

being a mole and am getting the following input option on my report page -

*/

Re: Forwarded spam (User defined recipient)

To: spam (Notes)

To: (Notes)

To: (Notes)

*/

I am assuming these are for anywhere else I may want to send certain

reports /over and above/ those inputted in the preferences section - is

this a correct assumption?

And could someone define "untargetted reports" (sounds like an

oxymoron)? I don't understand the phrase as used by the system...

tnx guys, and you too, Ellen...

Yes, that is correct, but the address is now spam<at>uce.gov.

Yes, that is correct, but it is limited to 4 addresses.

All of the other reports are "targeted", in that they are sent based on some decision the Parser or the Reporter makes, while these reports are "untargeted", in that they are sent for every spam regardless of the source (unless you uncheck the checkbox).
tnx guys, and you too, Ellen...

You're welcome.

I've looked at this three or four times, but still can't figure out why this Topic/Discussion was found in the "How to Use ... SpamCop Forum" forum section. Moving it back to the SpamCop Reporting Help section ...

...As a courtesy, you may want to check with your ISP first to see if they wish to receive these reports.

...FYI, the five addresses I have are separated by spaces.

...Actually, I can get more than 4 -- the limit I see is 100 total characters.

Two reasons:
  1. The OP put it there.
  2. I neglected to move it when I replied to it. Sorry.

OK, here's the deal on those limits:

The first box discussed (Public standard report recipients on the Reporting preferences page at http://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showadvanced or http://members.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showadvanced or http://mailsc.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=showadvanced) is limited by maxlength="100" in the HTML code. You can probably have as many emails as you can fit in that box.

The second box discussed (User Notification) on the http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=TrackingURL or

http://members.spamcop.net/sc?id=TrackingURL or

http://mailsc.spamcop.net/sc?id=TrackingURL parsing page is limited to 4 recipients as expanded, no matter how long their email addresses are, with the limit being imposed after the fact, and violations noted with Ignoring more than 4 user-notify addresses.
