No longer able to report spam through SpamCop


Recommended Posts

I consider SpamCop an incredibly valuable resource and have been a paid user for many years.

Currently, however, virtually all of my spam reports result in either:

-The (bondedsender) error resulting in no report being sent (described in another currently active forum thread)

-Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source
Mailhost:
Please correct this situation - register every email address where you receive spam
No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

The latter is occurring despite multiple reconfigurations of my mail host for an account I have been reporting spam from for years without issue.

I am concerned that spammers are basically finding ways to thwart spamcop, and steps are not being taken to counter these efforts.

Is there help someone can provide about fixing these issues or, at least, provide encouragement that steps will be taking to address them?

No bondedsender error. (Knocks on wood) but the "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source" accounts for 50%-ish of my reports.   

If I'm annoyed enough by the spam, I'll parse the hostname and fwd to them directly.

I've been trying various email header analyzers also but with mixed success indentifying actual sources.

I hope one of the internet's most important self-policing tools is not in an irrerversible decline.

I don't have technical expertise I can contribute, but is there anything else we in the community can do to help work toward solutions?

And 6 more that all lead to the "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source" , "No source IP address found, cannot proceed." Errors.

 

At this point, every spam that comes in that gets reported yields this error.  Spamcop is in effect, no longer working.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

You are receiving this on Gmail then fetting headers from Apple mobile phone?
138.199.63.73 is the emailer Gmail got it from
go to your webmail page on a computer and get REAL headers rom there mark it as phishing
Copy the headers and report it copy and past to your SpamCop reporting page
Apple are garbling the headers

I use the Outlook Desktop application, and forward all the spam I receive in my various email accounts via that Desktop email software. It works for the majority of the spam I forward to spamcop using my unique reporting address, though like you, I get a couple each day that result in the what you are seeing above. I found that if I submit them manually, i.e. copy and paste the information into the header and body submission boxes on the Spamcop website, they go through fine that way, and I can report them.

Don't know why there are issue with some and not others, as you would think that Outlook Desktop is forwarding them properly since the majority of mine go through fine and allow reporting. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can chime in. I'll try to submit some samples the next time it happens, just in case it might help someone with diagnosis of the problem.

No,  most of these emails are arriving directly to my mac.com email address (maybe a couple to my gmail) and being forwarded to SpamCop as attachments using Mail on a Mac computer.  I am not forwarding from an iPhone...

You are FOWARDING AS ATTACHMENT 
NOT JUST FORWARDING.?
Not use a Mac or Apple, so out of my field sorry

This is due to Apple changing how they receive mail, using .localdomain to boot.  I've been building out a mail host record for it but the naming convention is very wide and distributed. I've done a lot of guessing based on patterns, but its still a pita job

Well, I thank you for your efforts!  This issue with the "Mailhost configuration problem, identified internal IP as source" , "No source IP address found, cannot proceed." is a recent development.. only a few weeks. 

 

Your efforts seem to have done some good.. getting fewer of these errors, now most just seem to be the "bonded sender" issue which I know you are working on.  More reports if it helps:

While I'm not on Apple products, I've been dealing with this message, on a number of my spam reports, for probably close to 2 years now. Only seems to happen to SOME of the spam that I get in my old Hotmail account. I only recently found that I can manually submit those (copy headers and body HTML and paste) onto the SpamCop website and get it to parse and report properly that way. It's a PIA for sure and I'd love to know how to get it to work like the rest of my submissions, which are all submitted via forward as attachment.

Richard,

I will reach out to Apple and see if I can help.   It is easy to escalate to their engineers.  Will send them the reports so they can see for themselves how their back end changes affect SpamCop.. maybe they will care enough to fix it.

In the meantime, here are more reports if it helps:

All spam I submit comes out like this regardless of submitting method.

Thanks for your efforts!
