Oakley Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I have recently enlisted the help of yourselves to help with a spam problem on my Yahoo account. I have sent various spam emails to the email supplied from yourselves but am not sure what happens after that. Is there anything else I should be doing to counter receiving these spam emails?

After submitting SpamCop will send a confirmation to the email address you have on file. If you are not getting any reply the email address you have given is not working?

ninth Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Note that you must send report within 2 days of receiving the spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlymarley Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 SpamCop doesn't block spam at your email account unless your email provider uses the blocking list at bl.spamcop.net. You should see a change in the type of spam over time as the spammers have to start changing their IP address or they will give up with sending to you.

Just checking that you have completed the process by clicking on the link in the response logged in and sent the recommended abuse report(s)? If the spammer stops sending spam within 24 hours they will be auto deleted from the blocklist or it may take a while for multiple reporters to get them blacklisted on SC and other blocklists and be banned from sending mail and using networks. You can search the forum to find more info on best ways to avoid spam in the first place like using a secure email client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
