won't let me report spammed site


Cornholio

Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem with a spam I forwarded. Spamcop says that the email sender's ISP has reported that the spam will cease (which is all good) but it also won't let me report the spammed site (which is a different ISP).

Here's the link: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z1422147826z5...3d90d84c397966z

I understand not sending reports to the email sender's ISP, but why won't it let me report the spammed site (notewarm.com)?

...FWIW, it seems to work fine for me:

If reported today, reports would be sent to:

abuse[at]tvcablenet.be

abuse[at]pandora.be

postmaster[at]tvcablenet.be

DNS games in progress

first parse request for notewarm.com also showed the ocn.ad.jp address

a second request returned;

Parsing input: notewarm.com

Cannot resolve notewarm.com

No valid email addresses found, sorry!

There are several possible reasons for this:

The site involved may not want reports from SpamCop.

SpamCop administrators may have decided to stop sending reports to the site to prevent listwashing.

SpamCop uses internal routeing to contact this site, only knows about the internal method and so cannot provide an externally-valid email address.

There may be no working email address to receive reports.

A third request returned;

Parsing input: notewarm.com

no doubt. checking in a few will show a whole bunch of different IP addresses involved ....

The parser deals with whatever the Domain resolved to at the moment of the look-up

Yes, I'm familiar with rotating DNS, etc. However in this case, that is not the problem. Spamcop is finding IP addresses for the site and reporting addresses, it just will not let me send the report!

Maybe the issue is that since the email sender's admin has indicated that the spam will cease, Spamcop assumes that this applies to the spammed site as well (even though the two are unrelated)?

No, the two are unrelated - all that happened with the spamvertized site was that, after you reported, the parser resolved a reporting address. That doesn't mean you can retrospectively use SC to send a report to the now-resolved address (where would that all end? The reporting addresses keep changing in many instances). You can, of course, send a manual report but in so doing lose the shield of SpamCop. Gathering evidence and requesting the domain registrar to take action might be a more productive tactic (but that is getting away from the SC function).

No... I never reported. There was never the option to do so. A reporting address was resolved the very first time, but it wouldn't let me report.

Aha, I get it ("At last," thinks the long-suffering Cornholio) a bug of sorts then, definitely. Since SC's "mission" is the mail originator's IP address I guess there's not a lot of priority given to the secondary "targets". Even so, it is annoying, has an "unfinished" feeling about it. I will email the Deputies but I fear other matters would take precedence.

Heheh. :D Thanks. Let me know what they say.
