braindead Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've recently subsctibed to Spamcop and notice about 50% of my submissions bounce, with content such as: - delivery failed - destination mailbox full Is this rejection rate 'normal' and to be expected?

Wazoo Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've recently subsctibed to Spamcop Subscribed???? The words normally seen are "I registered for a Reporting Account" or "I purchased a Reporting-only or an E-Mail account" .... and notice about 50% of my submissions bounce, with content such as: - delivery failed - destination mailbox full Neither of the above is a "normal" error code dealing with submitting a spam for parsing (assumedly via e-mail, but you leave a whole bunch of data out of your query) For instance, there is no "mailbox" involved ... a "delivery failed" message should have all kinds of stuff in it, codes, data, URLS, etc. What is some of that data? If "we" pretend you signed up for a free-reporting account, have you logged nto www.spamcop.net? Have you seen your "submit:" address listed on that screen? Does that resemble at all the 'address' you are sending stuff to? And of course, as suggested in the [How to] post a question Pinned entry ... silly things like your e-mail client, how are you trying to handle / submit your spam, on and on .... One has to wonder where the other 50% of your traffic is actually ending up .... Have you looked at the SpamCop FAQ here? Have you looked at the How to use .. Forum section?

braindead Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 What a suspicious mind you have Wazoo. I have indeed registered for a completely legitimate fully paid-for reporting account, if that's how you describe the crown jewels. So chill m8 You're right - I should have read all the stuff you pointed me to and will do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 No suspicions .. just hard to come up with some kind of an answer when I can't guess at what's actually going on .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindead Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 It's cool wazoo. Looking back at my first post here it does seem rather uninformative. I'm a refugee of the recent Blue Security collapse, where spam submission was a simple affair, especially after Mailwasher incorporated Blue Frog, and I didn't have to worry about all the finer details of spam, headers etc. Too bad.
