Forging received dates?

[elind]

I received a spam with wrong dates. The receive date was today, 7/25/05, but other dates were 7/21/05, thereby causing Spamcop to reject the report as too old.

Surely it cannot be that simple to avoid Spamcop reports or everyone would do it.

I didn't want to publish the emails here, but the key change lines look like this:

by c60.cesmail.net with SMTP; Mon, 25 Jul 2005 21:37:04 -0400

Received: (qmail 25869 invoked by uid 1010); Thu, 21 Jul 2005 17:20:59 +0000

Received: (qmail 25657 invoked from network); Thu, 21 Jul 2005 17:20:49 +0000

Before these lines is 7/25/05, after is 7/21/05

Any explanation?

This is probably due to the stuck queue, but I thought the problem was only with outbound messages.

With the limited data presented, it could be another host that had a problem holding messages as well.

I received another of these today, and the common factor is that they get past the filter that catches 99.9% of all others. I'd be happy to provide detail, but I don't know how to do that without publishing all addresses.

(PS. How come I never receive email notice that anyone has replied to my posts even though this page says I do?)

Use of a Tracking URL would be the norm. Check the Glossary here via the FAQ if needed.

Not sure of your subscription settings. The announcements section has an entry dealing with Forum e-mail .... just checked the logs, and see that there are 10 more new errors since 29 July (JT notified) .. but I don't see your address in that list of failed e-mail attempts. I believe dbiel had also added a comment in the "How to use .... SpamCop Forum" in an entry about Topic/Forum subscriptions that may offer something to try.

You do realize that you have to logout of here for that to happen, right?

Duhh! No. I figured the system would know that when I went back to google it was a logout. I'll try it this time. Please reply.

I appreciate you not wanting to publish the full Email but what about the full headers with any identifying marks munged? That might help understanding the chronology of the message.

I think I've deleted those, but I'll try to do that if I get more. Thanks (PS I get notification now that I log out!) All these years and I never knew.
