Reporting Spam via Outlook/Webpage

Hi,

I use Outlook 2000 on Windows XP Professional with an ISDN connection. When spam manages to get through Spamcop and thus into my inbox I'm currently unable to report it.

If I try and send it via email I always get an email back saying there was an error processing it. If I try to report it on the webpage via the 'Report spam' forms I get one of the following <note that I've tried the all-in-one form and the outlook/eudora form and get the same results from each> :

1. Without the 'Technical Details' checkbox ticked

Please make sure this email IS spam:

<and that is all I get, nothing further so ican't submit it>

2. With the 'Technical Details' checkbox ticked

<and that's it, nothing else so I still can't report it>

So how on earth *does* one report spam that gets through the filters now????!! I used to be able to report it fine via the webpage but it no longer seems to work!

Any tips/pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Holly

Both of those links worked for me and provided areas for reporting.

The first one wants to report to: internode.com.au along with the URL

The second only to internode.com.au

How long has this been happening? Can you try it from another machine? another browser?

Both of the links under "This page may be saved for future reference:" seemed to have checkboxes and be waiting to be reported. You should either report or cancel the reports.

There are a number of people who are having problems with email submissions being returned with errors.

Try this topic:

I don't think anyone has come up with a consistent explanation of why email submissions don't work and web page cut and paste does. There are a number of spams being sent that the parser won't parse (no message body, incorrect boundaries, no entry in bcc, headers mixed in with the message to name a few that I remember). Also emails that aren't forward as attachment don't seem to work well any more.

Since I don't know much about Outlook, I can't help with what you could try to get email submissions to work again.
