Double spacing in forwarded spam

[mikeyj23]

I've recently tried reporting spam by emailing the messages as attachments to my [at]spam.spamcop.net address. When I get the return email with the links for reporting, they say:

No source IP address found, cannot proceed.

Add/edit your mailhost configuration

Finding full email headers

Submitting spam via email (may work better)

Example: What spam headers should look like

No tracking information found in header:

Return-Path: <spamfromaddress[at]spam.com>

Probably not full headers - see FAQ:

Email software FAQ

no header

When I look at the attachment I sent, it has the full headers and full message, but it's effectively double spaced - an extra line put in between each line of the header/mail. I think this is causing spamcop to not see headers - to test this I copied the doublespaced version of the attachment and manually put it in at the spamcop website, and it told me the same thing (no headers), then I put it again in the spamcop site and deleted the extra lines and it worked perfectly.

Is there any workaround for the doublespacing problem? It would be a lot easier to forward spam all at once than to find the full source and copy and paste each message individually.

It would help if you could provide a SpamCop parsing link

like

It would also help if you named your email client

That will do it because the first blank line indicates the end of the headers. I have seen the spamcop webmail client do this from time to time, but I just used it a couple hours ago with no problem.

I'll post one as soon as I get another spam mail.

I'm using my school's webmail service - looks to be Imp H3 (4.0.4)

Which may be the key. As I mentioned, SpamCop's webmail (also IMP) has done this in the past and been fixed by JT and company after each upgrade. You can try to email support[at]spamcop.net and ask them what needed to be done. This might require the administrator to make some major changes, though.

Here are two links to SpamCop's parsing of my forwarded spam:

Looks to me like a botched end-of-line conversion of some sort. Each line is terminated by LFLF rather than CRLF as required by SMTP. That is, if I can trust what I downloaded from the SpamCop window.

Hard to figure a message being successfully delivered to you in this condition, so my money’s on something having happened to it immediately before SpamCop got it (i.e., on your outgoing mail host?).
