Lking Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Or just having your domain on some spammer's list. Last night I received 71 bounce messages from two numbered domains, all in Chinese. Seems that 71 random mailboxes "at my domain" send emails, in Chinese, to mailboxes @163.com and @126.com. Those Postmaster's dumb auto responders rejected "my" email and bounced them. I have not received this level of dumb bounces from China, or elsewhere, in years. Must be new kids on the block or someone found an old CD with list of names to use.

If IP from China who ignore spam reports "Forward as attachment" no comments subject to abuse[AT]12321[DOT]cn Seem effective They do send a autoack back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 By my definition the bounce email itself is not spam. Dumb postmaster, misconfigured mail server, noise on the web, yes. But spam?? JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninth Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 126.com is hosted by chinanet GZ and chinanet is number one in top 10 worst networks hosting the most number of IPs associated with exploiting devices and hosting spam emitting IPs. China is number one worst country hosting IPs associated with exploited devices and botnet C&Cs and spam emitting IPs and malware distribution sites.

JMHO I seem to remember a discussion about this on this forum back in the mists of time, the upshot of which, if I remember correctly was, if you didn't ask for it, then it's spam, so report. I have always been doing this since, although, touch wood, my address hasn't been 'flavour of the month' for quite a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Due to a misconfiguration of my host's mail server, I am unable to use quick reporting. Reporting 'by hand' I pick and choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporting 'by hand' I pick and choose. Does it really matter what email you send the reports from? I have 11 email address I use in my Outlook Desktop client, and because of a similar situation with my ISP email addresses, I can't forward spam reports using any of them. A number of years ago I started forwarding all of my spam emails to SpamCop from a single Hotmail address, irregardless of what email the spam was originally sent to.

Outlook (I believe) separate's headers from spam body meaning SC does not get headers?
