EMail from SpamCop

[Tedr]

I am new to spam reporting and SpamCop. Fed up with spam (and currently on enforced sick leave having been in hospital) I purchased spam Inspector and via that got a SpamCop account. However, I get 2 sorts of messages when I report spam : 1. "SpamCop encountered errors while saving spam for processing:

SpamCop could not find your spam message in this email" (even though I have forwarded the complete email) and 2. "SpamCop has accepted 1 email for processing". However, this then goes on to say that there is insufficient information - even tho' all the header information that MS Outlook 2000 provides has been supplied. It would appear that I am being asked to supply more information that I have no idea how to find. Can anyone please help to enlighten me?

Can you please try the following procedure?

• Start with an innocuous or test message (not spam) sent to your account which you access via Outlook 2000.
  
• Pretending that message was spam, use spam Inspector to submit it to SpamCop for parsing.
  
• Post the results here (either the #1 message or the #2 message, the parse results, and the "View full message" results).
  

Thanks!

This is the "SpamCop has accepted 1 email for processing" response :

This is the 2nd typre of response I get (this from the innocuous email you asked me to send via ApamCop). This time I forwarded the whole email to Spamcop and this is the reply :

Hi, Tedr!

...Have you checked:

Microsoft Products and Outlook 98 and 2000?

[Jeff G.]

I thought spam Inspector could do the same job on Outlook 2000 headers that SpamSource and spam Deputy can; it appears that I was mistaken (or spam Inspector was misused). Please try using SpamSource or spam Deputy per How do I get my email program to reveal the full, unmodified email? : Microsoft products : Outlook 98 and 2000.

Also, please don't post your submit address any more.

Thanks!

[Tedr]

JeffG (AndTuretzr(?)), many thanks for your help. I now appear to be able to report spam correctly (at least I'm getting the sort of responses that lead me to believe I'm now doing it right!). Once again thanks

[Jeff G.]

You're welcome.

[turetzsr]

You're welcome.

...Ditto, from me!
