jasvitali Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 My setup is that I only use SPAMCOP to retrieve server messages for my other accounts. I am now receivng spam sent to my spamcop.net account which I have NEVER used for anything at all. Can I have spamcop stop receiveing and reporting to spam directly any item sent to my spamcop.net account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 My setup is that I only use SPAMCOP to retrieve server messages for my other accounts. I am now receivng spam sent to my spamcop.net account which I have NEVER used for anything at all. Can I have spamcop stop receiveing and reporting to spam directly any item sent to my spamcop.net account? As a sort of spamtrap? Not really but using quick reporting (as distinct from "standard" reporting) would make it very ... er quick ... and easy if you were to stop forwarding to your SC account from your other accounts. But why should you? You should be getting the direct benefit of your account. I don't think that would be the way to go. With filtering it should be quite easy to sideline a good proportion of the spam to your SC account and from the others for quick reporting. The question needs to be put as to how come spammers found your address though. They mostly don't bother retaliating but do you have munging selected in your reporting options? Just generally, you might like to look through the latter parts of http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6768 where some account tweaks and settings are discussed in detail. I think you will be wanting to ask some more questions - please don't hesitate to do that. If you take a look at the "How we use SpamCop" or Wicki "How I use SpamCop items they will be useful.

Farelf Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ...Can I change my spamcop email account name and delete the old one?Ask JT (How To Get Official SpamCop.Net Customer Support). A previous topic dealing with the question was New SpamCop address for current account?, an old account wants a new address which is not for the faint-hearted - some "luggage" involved.

turetzsr Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 ...You originally entitled your post as "spam sent now to my spamcop.net account directly." "spam" is a trademark of Hormel Corporation, so please do not use it here to refer to unsolicited e-mail (spam). Please see spam and the Internet, especially the third paragraph. Thanks! I have changed the topic title to comply with Hormel's polite request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
