FAQ Entry: "Header incomplete, aborting." and "No

[Jeff G.]

As Spambo wrote way back in May of 2002:

Other than the Received: lines (which are always essential) the headers must

contain at least ONE of the following components in order for the parser to

consider a submission to provide *full* headers.

...Proposed new "SpamCop FAQ" entry:

...Add link under "SpamCop Parsing and Reporting Service" labeled:

SpamCop parser says: "No source IP address found, cannot proceed." What does this mean?

...Content of the page to which that link should navigate:

Possible causes:

• StevenUnderwood reply in SpamCop Forum article "After ISP mailserver prob - No source IP address found, cannot proceed"
  The spam came to you from another user of the same e-mail provider.
  
• SpamCopAdmin (Don D'Minion) reply in SpamCop Forum article "No source IP address found, cannot proceed"
  A SpamCop database problem that prevented the parser from seeing your Mailhost info, which causes the parse to fail.
  
• SpamCopAdmin (Don D'Minion) reply in SpamCop Forum article "No source IP address found, cannot proceed."
  The receiving server doesn't properly identify itself when it gets the mail from outside, which causes the parse to fail.
  
• Final reply from contributor Stomp in SpamCop Forum article "No source IP address found, no body text provided."
  Missing e-mail body.
  
• MailHosts configuration issues:
  • Wazoo reply in SpamCop Forum article "No source IP address found, cannot proceed"
    Incomplete (started but not yet completed) MailHosts configuration.
    
  • Wazoo reply in SpamCop Forum article "After ISP mailserver prob - No source IP address found, cannot proceed"
    ISP (or e-mail provider) has changed server configuration since you last completed your MailHosts configuration.
