Kojote Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I keep reporting spam that all have removal links at "www.qwretyu.com". How long does it take until sites are blacklisted or someone takes down the spammer's website? This website has been in operation for almost two months according to WHOIS. I'm currently reporting with munged address. How many reports does it take to blacklist a spammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Spamcop does not concern itself with spamadvertised sites but only on the origin IPs of spam e-mail, therefore reporting them does not place sites into SCBL. However, other lists pick up our reports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojote Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 So is there any organization that does want reports of this type? There used to be Blue Frog/Blue Security, but they shut down. I already report everything to FTC, KnujOn, my ISP, and SpamCop. Yet none of these so-called "anti-spam" groups don't have an effect. The same websites are up and running month after month. There has to be a faster way to shut down these websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Unfortunately there isn't ...Other than keeping your fingers crossed the law will catch up with some of them.. As for Blue Frog, spammers had an easy time shutting down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 So is there any organization that does want reports of this type? As far as "shutting them down" there's not much that can be done if the hosting ISP or their upstream doesn't wish to get involved. If it's some sort of filtering you desire, check the SpamCop FAQ here for an entry titled How does SpamCop interface with SURBL? and grab yourself a tool that allows the use of that information.

Kojote Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think I may just sign up for SpamCop filtered account. I found out Road Runner does have a forwarding option. It is located in their webmail page. thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
