MyNameHere Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I saw some other discussions of this, but I thought I'd start another thread because mine might be a little different. I'm using the two-part Outlook/Eudora workaround form at mailsc.spamcop.net. I'm using Outlook 2003 with a corporate Exchange Server 2003. For a browser, I have a "customized version" of IE labeled 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2_gdr.040517-1325CO. There is a firewall, but I don't know anything about it. When I get spam here, I copy the headers from the View | Options... | Internet headers text box and paste them into the first part of the reporting form. Then I copy either the body text or HTML source (depending on the type of email) and paste that into the second part of the reporting form. Maybe 3 times in the past week, I have gotten the "No data/too much data" message from Spamcop. So I go back to the form, paste exactly the same thing into the form, and voila it works fine. Pardon my ignorance, but I just went to the history page to see my past reports, hoping I could recover my tracking URL (which I neglected to copy). But it isn't there. How can I find the tracking URL? Is there any other information you need? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telarin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yeah, I get that same error every now and then. Just one of those little parser quirks that pops up from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameHere Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Okay, I think the tracking URL is: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z840751613z13...934b29509c6427z whether or not it's any help. Maybe it is just an intermittent bug bite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the tracking URL you intended to show us? 37866[/snapback] When you get the "No data/Too much data" message, there is no report and no tracking URL. This URL came from the second time, when it did work. I don't know if it's any use, because by definition it worked okay that time, even though it was the same text pasted into the form. My guess is, this is not worth pursuing because it's intermittent and merely annoying (not crippling). By the way, the "Sorry, too old..." message was not present originally, it was reported within a few hours of receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 When you get the "No data/Too much data" message, there is no report and no tracking URL.37887[/snapback] The page you are on when you get the message SHOULD be the tracking URL even if there is not the text shown on that page. Can you try taking the URL from the Address bar of the page you are on next time? We should be able to fix it here if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at the "top" of the email you submitted, the parser sees that the spam is to old to report and stops looking at the spam and tells you the results i.e. "spam is to old." The first time you submitted the spam the parser got past this test and then tested the length/size of the spam. The results of that test got you the "no data/to much data" error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berryproud Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have gotten the same error literally hundreds of times. But if you just paste the same email back in the form and hit send it always...and I mean ALWAYS works the second time. I think its just one of those little things we are going to have to live with.
