Infoman Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 ...and with 8 e-mail accounts, given the amount of spam I receive, I've decided to fight back! Yeah, it takes time, but right now, "frustration" is the word. a) Even time I forward a PLAIN TEXT e-mail to my SPAMCOP "submit..." email address, it comes back to me with errors - something about NOT being plain text, but it is. Why is this happening? As an example, the last spam I got, I did many separate checks on on the source. Use this link as a reference to this particular spam: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z808787526z70...cdd9a8b3ea820cz - I use spam BULLY software, which has a reporting facility. This facility is not the greatest, and on ocassion, it can't find the correct address to sent it to - as it did here - so it defaults to "spam[at]uce.gov". Something tells me that doesn't do a bit of good. - Forwarding to SPAMCOP.NET plain text - with headers - gets returned with errors for some unknown reason. (see (a) above) - Entering headers and text online in SPAMCOP.NET tells me to report it to: Re: 196.200.115.11 (Administrator of network where email originates) To: postmaster[at]accelonafrica.com (Notes) Re: 196.200.115.11 (Third party interested in email source) To: Cyveillance spam collection (Notes) - Entering headers in what must be a competitor to you(?) - SPAMCOP.COM - analyzes the sent-to address as "abuse[at]microsoft.com". SPAMCOP.NET's analysis said "IGNORED" next to the Microsoft reference. - Using the "abuse reporting" feature of Visualware's "EMAIL TRACKER PRO", it points to me "abuse[at]ripe.net". WHAT IS AN ANTI-spam WARRIOR TO BELIEVE??????????? Thanks! Andy (Infoman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Andy, Welcome, and thanks for your message. a) Even time I forward a PLAIN TEXT e-mail to my SPAMCOP "submit..." email address, it comes back to me with errors - something about NOT being plain text, but it is. Why is this happening?33133[/snapback] You need to forward AS ATTACHMENT. Please see How do I submit spam via email? for details. As an example, the last spam I got, I did many separate checks on on the source.

SPAMCOP.NET's analysis said "IGNORED" next to the Microsoft reference. 33133[/snapback] SpamCop's programmers have chosen not to notify intermediary Microsoft of such abuse of their MSN Hotmail service. I don't approve of that choice. Also, please note that spamcop.COM has been run by a number of scammers since it was acquired when its registration was allowed to lapse.- Using the "abuse reporting" feature of Visualware's "EMAIL TRACKER PRO", it points to me "abuse[at]ripe.net".33133[/snapback] That tool appears not to be tracking far enough - that is, it doesn't understand the delegation of 196.200.0.0/13 to RIPE on August 30th, 2004.WHAT IS AN ANTI-spam WARRIOR TO BELIEVE??????????? Thanks! Andy (Infoman) 33133[/snapback] Please believe the SpamCop Parser and send a Manual Report to abuse[at]hotmail.com if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
