30/30 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, I was wondering if it's best (from a spam prevention point-of-view) to report spam through the webmail interface ("Report as spam" function under Held Mail) or through the report mechanism triggered by forwarding spam as an attachment to a "submit" [at]spam.spamcop.net address. The former case seems a bit easier since you can take care of a number of messages with one action, but is the latter more effective since you have to manual submit each report? Does it even matter? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, 30/30! ...Actually, you can forward several spam using the second method. ...The advantage of manual submission, in my view, is that it allows you to see the e-mail addresses to which SpamCop is going to send the complaints before it does so, thus allowing you to stop any that you believe may be either misdirected (yes, the SpamCop software sometimes, albeit rarely, makes mistakes) or make you feel uneasy. ...Since I do not use SpamCop Webmail, I am unable to provide information on that from personal experience.

rconner Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Another advantage of using the web form (VER) is that SpamCop may detect and offer to report on web links in your spam, which I do not believe it will do with spam submitted by other means. -- rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsteele Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The main thing with the webmail submission method is that it is effectively Quick Reporting. Much like quick reporting through the VER interface. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
