mrmaxx Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Anyone got a valid upstream complaint for douglaspublications.com? I keep getting spammed by them on their "HR & Workplace" email list, which I never signed up to receive. I've tried sending them emails, I've tried reporting them, I've tried sending complaints to their mail host (visi.net) but abuse[at]visi.net bounces and they appear to ignore postmaster[at]visi.net, or at least nothing has ever been done to get me off their spam list. Any suggestions for a valid upstream that will pay attention to a spam complaint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi, mrmaxx, ...Do any of the hits at http://www.google.com/custom?cof=S%3Ahttp%...rum.spamcop.net help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmaxx Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 ...Do any of the hits at http://www.google.com/custom?cof=S%3Ahttp%...rum.spamcop.net help? Not really. Their mail-host (visi.net) is in RFC-Ignorant for bouncing abuse messages.. Trust me I've tried to send Manual LARTs to them, but all I ever get is a bounce message. I honestly don't know WHY SC offers to report to them. I was thinking maybe someone would be able to advise visi.net's upstream so I can bang on their door.

For example, Auna.es not accepting abuse reports? has a contribution from contributor "Jeff G" that contains links to another SpamCop Forum post and a SpamCop News post. Did you try those? There were a total of "about 1,130" results today in the output from that Google inquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a total of "about 1,130" results today in the output from that Google inquiry. Well, I glanced at the first couple pages, but nothing really seemed apropos to the discussion at hand. There may have been something there, but I really don't have the time or inclination to search through all 1000+ results. Guess I'll just go plop a note to Ellen and the rest of the deputies in spamcop.routing. Let *them* figure it out. (later) Well, I think I finally figured it out. Visi.net was acquired by NetTelcos. I'm guessing either visi.net disabled their abuse account and NetTelcos never re-enabled it or NetTelcos disabled the visi.net abuse account when they acquired visi.net and no one ever bothered to notify abuse.net. In any event, I have advised the deputies in spamcop.routing and hopefully that will get updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
