Valid spam message with lots of info lacking

Look at the following message: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z809477696ze7...;action=display

Return-Path: <npcharity[at]emailaccount.com>

Subject: x

That is all I got in the header section. The spam went thru the filtering system right into my inbox. When I try to report it I get the following error:

No unique hostname found for source: 218.87.46.42

Possible forgery. Supposed receiving system not associated with any of your mailhosts

Will not trust anything beyond this header

No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

Is apple.hunox.ca one of your servers? Is it listed in your mailhost configuration page?

It looks like you may ahve started the mailhost configuration process but attempted to report spam before that process was completed for every email path your mail takes.

In the future, please use / provide the Tracking URL for its untended purpose. When providing data for a question, please provide a "true" copy of that data.

In this case, the better link would have been http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z809477696ze7...0bbf021292b75fz which would have shown with "one click, one view" both the header contents and the "actual" parse output, also negating the need for the (flawed) copied data to be posted here. As StevenUnderwood points out, your actual query post could have comtained some additional data, noting that your posting IP offers no connection to the spam header contents.

Of course, that link works just fine.

On a slightly different note, perhaps Steve Linford can sue for defamation - I understand that England's laws are somewhat different.

It is one of my servers, but it is not listed in mailhosts yet. I don't remember starting config process for this server. How can i check?

I am sorry, I meant to link to that, I guess I just copied the URL out of the wrong window.

Once you start the mailhost configuration, you can not report any emails sent to accounts that are not configured. You should have configured EVERY server you receive email at before reporting any more spams.

To check, click the Mailhosts tab on your reporting page. One of the Hosts/Domains: entried should list apple.hunox.ca.

And to avoid searching for it, simply register it.

The simple answer for registering MailHosts, is when in doubt, do it again.

Registering the same address more than once does not cause any problems and in some cases is necessary to pick up servers that were missed the first time around.
