Spam from me

[97wilson]

Hi folks,

I received the following spam which cleared Spamcop as my email address is whitelisted. If I submit this as spam will I be reporting myself as a spammer? I tried using the 'submit.xxxxxxxxxxxx[at]spam.spamcop.net" and the email was bounced back by my ISP as spam.

Thanks you for your help

Moderator Edit: no reason for the entire spam to be posted, question is dealing with the header data. and noting that this is where the Tracking URL comes into play ... suggesting that the question would have been answered during that process ...

You may want to review the FAQ linked to from the top of this page, as it has a lot of information already covering your questions.

Short answers:

Spamcop is uninterested in the from address on the spam, they are trivially forged and cannot be relied upon. The only thing it looks at is the source IP address which cannot be forged.

If the emails are bouncing as spam, then your ISP is apparently filtering outgoing email and you will need to talk to their support people to resolve it.

Thank you for the quick response. I did a search of the FAQ and guess I missed the reference message . My major concern was submitting the message as spam and having my ISP terminate my account.

Thanks again!

You can always paste such spam into your submission page (via http://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=loginform) and see how it resolves - cancel the reports if you don't wish to go ahead (but as Will says, the email address is not a SpamCop target). The result - without mailhosting - for that one comes out:

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z1304149492z9...e884453ce57ec5z (75.179.131.21 : abuse[at]rr.com).

Which is already well listed at this moment. Um ... do you have a reason to have yourself (your SC email account address) whitelisted?

You posted from a Cox IP address ....
