C2H5OH Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6689032327z78567ccc8eaf15598cc4e69ae8ef9d36z For the past few weeks I've been receiving a couple of spams a day to my Hotmail account. All have a "PDF" payload attachment (usually with a nonsense name) and all come from garbagename(AT)hotmail.com. I've reported them all, with spamcop sending reports to danorm(AT)hotmail.com. Today's second arrival followed exactly the same format, except that spamcop wouldn't report it (to danorm or anyone else). Tracking link above shows the result of my attempt. Doubtlessly tomorrow I'll have another couple to report, so I'll discover whether this was a one-off, or the new-normal. Has anyone else here suddenly been receiving spam from garbage hotmail accounts lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlymarley Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If I am reading this correctly, it would appear that something has gone weird with the IP addresses on received lines 1 and 2. The server names do not match, nor do the IPs match. Either hotmail is not reporting all the received lines to you or else, this is a hotmail internal email.

C2H5OH Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Okay, so yesterday's spam duly arrived. This time it parsed and reported normally. https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6689197903z2d490751dc72f6177eeed2ee9a0a1629z Let's see what today brings...

Sven Golly Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Wouldn't you be better off just using the Hotmail spam flagging feature? It reports, blocks and is probably a more direct and successful route than going through SpamCop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
