SpamCop

Since a few of you already know I'm actually preparing for exams at college. However as you can imagine I try everything to NOT study and get distracted.

Anyway, Twinkley mentioned a while about SpamCop and so I thought I should check it out. To be honest, I love them meanwhile (ok, not as much as our trio infernale [Twinkley, ARiA, FunB]).

I have set it to collect email from 10 POP Accounts and analyze it. Then with Eudora I just login to SpamCop for those email addresses and the Eudora filters still work perfectly (since the To: Address is the same which I used for filtering).

Per day about 5-10 spam emails still make it to my Eudora databases and they will be manually reported at SpamCop. The mail filtered by SpamCop is being put in a seperate folder where you can easily just check what is in there and report that also as spamming or you can retrieve that mail.

So far only 2 emails landed in SpamCops held mail and I've been using it now for almost a week.

Thx Twinkley for pointing SpamCop out to me. I finally feel that I can get the spam under control!

Is this some kind of experiment? I'm curious to see some results after a couple of weeks...

Have you thought about Spam Arrest? I have noticed a lot of webmasters are using it now.

Spam Arrest? Is that the thing you have mentioned on the x-nation front side news?

I hate spamcop, those fuckers using it always report my domains as spam domains and they are not, simple auto replies.

Fuck spamcop!!!

.. okay I feel better now.

Darin,

I love SpamCop... if people were acting a bit more with brain and consideration there would be no need for SpamCop and other stuff like that but once you get 100 mails and 99 are just spam you tend to start using those solutions.

As I said it works great for me but it also has a bit abuse potential!
