[SC-Help] Re: Emails SpamCop can't parse

[Phil Calvert]

Hi Mike,

What's interesting is that I just ran the original email through SpamCop and
it parsed it successfully this time.  So something has changed.  Apparently
someone was able to figure out what was tripping up SpamCop, fortunately.

I just noticed something kind of strange, though.  The reporting addresses
for the links keep changing.  The reporting addresses I am getting are
different than the ones you posted.

When I ran the original email through SpamCop just now, here are the
reporting addresses I got for the links that were found:

Re: http://www.aurilavepoppetleggumdigging.com/emms... (Administrator of
network hosting website referenced in spam)
To: abuse at cnc-noc.net (Notes)
To: postmaster#cnc-noc.net at devnull.spamcop.net (Notes)

Re: http://www.zoo345.com/192879/rpm/lifetime.html (Administrator of network
hosting website referenced in spam)
To: postmaster#chinanet.cn.net at devnull.spamcop.net (Notes)
To: anti-spam at chinanet.cn.net (Notes)
To: renbin at mail.he.cn (Notes)
To: ct-abuse at abuse.sprint.net (Notes)


Then I opened the tracking link in a new browser window to see what I would
see, and noticed that the reporting addresses for the second link were
different:

Re: http://www.zoo345.com/192879/rpm/lifetime.html (Administrator of network
hosting website referenced in spam)
To: cfc_dcy at sina.com (Notes)


After a few minutes, I again opened the tracking link in a new browser
window, and the reporting addresses were again different:

network hosting website referenced in spam)
To: cfc_dcy at sina.com (Notes)

Re: http://www.zoo345.com/192879/rpm/lifetime.html (Administrator of network
hosting website referenced in spam)
To: abuse at cnc-noc.net (Notes)
To: postmaster#cnc-noc.net at devnull.spamcop.net (Notes)

I wonder what's going on.  It seems a bit odd that the reporting addresses
would change from one minute to the next.
