cyshuster Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I follow the instructions for reporting via email for Outlook Express 6, i.e. forwarding as an attachment to my assigned email address. All such emails are returned to me with this error (submission address masked): -------------------------------------------------- This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: submit.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[at]spam.spamcop.net This message has been rejected because it has a potentially executable attachment "{Spam_} spit.eml" This form of attachment has been used by recent viruses or other malware. If you meant to send this file then please package it up as a zip file and resend it. -------------------------------------------------- If I have to go to properties, details, message source, select all, copy, paste into Notepad, compress as zip, and then attach to a new email, that's more work than using the web report form. Is there an easier way to report by email? --Cy-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I follow the instructions for reporting via email for Outlook Express 6, i.e. forwarding as an attachment to my assigned email address. All such emails are returned to me with this error (submission address masked): Question has to be asked ... returned by whom? Your Subject title states the SpamCop.net rejected it, but you offer nothing to 'show' that as happening. More likely is that your ISP has some outgoing filters in place .. but, only conjecturing here ... all the needed details would be in the header of the 'rejection' to show where this message came from. This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. This doesn't have the 'ring' of the alleged SpamCop.net e-mail server rejection ..... This message has been rejected because it has a potentially executable attachment "{Spam_} spit.eml" and seeing as how the ".eml" attachment is a 'normal' file for a SpamCop.net submittal, this also has the 'ring' of the error message being developed elsewhere ..... If I have to go to properties, details, message source, select all, copy, paste into Notepad, compress as zip, and then attach to a new email, that's more work than using the web report form. And yet, it is known that zipping up your submittal will not result in anything usable by the SpamCop.net parser .... another indication that the error message was developed elsewhere .... It is expected of course that you have swept your system to ensure that it is 'clean' .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I follow the instructions for reporting via email for Outlook Express 6, i.e. forwarding as an attachment to my assigned email address. ...Have you worked your way through http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?...ost&p=24612 ? Seem to recall there's quite a bit in there and from links provided there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyshuster Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks -- you were right on. The "Mail Delivery System" that sent me the bounce was, in fact, my very own outgoing SMTP server. "Never mind..." --Cy-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
