So much for spam cop. This morning I replied to one of our sub-contractor's emails and Spam Cop immediately sent me a message saying I was blocked because of being spam. How do they expect their customers to do business with anyone if they block legitimate emails?

I dont know where or how i got the spam emails, but i was getting them from everywhere, Primark, bit coin, funeral services, and dozens of other places. I have obviously clicked a link to accept cookies somewhere! I was getting about 50 junk emails a day! At first i reported them in gmail to junk but i didnt want them at all! I was very fortunate to come across this when i googled how to stop spam emails. So i tried it and sent all the junk email address's into this program but still they spam emails kept coming. I thought the program just was not going to work, but after about a week maybe less YIPEE! Woke up on a morning checked my emails and NONE in my spam inbox! It worked im very impressed and utterly thankful for the program. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is unfortunate to get horrible spam!

While I admire the purpose of this service, I feel that it's of little use in actually reporting spam anymore since more and more of the reports I submit end up only being forwarded to 'devnull' addresses, meaning that they're only collected for statistical uses rather than being forwarded to the email service providers from which the spam messages originated.

If the primary purposes of submitting the reports is to have the service providers be made aware of the spam being generated, then this service is unlikely to be of any use/consequence.

Reporting spam on Spamcop's site doesn't do a single thing to diminish the amount of spam you receive. Sure, the reporting feature appears to work as intended, and does most likely email the relevant providers about spam, but you'll continue to get the same amount of spam from the same sources. Over a period of many months, I've seen increases and decreases in the amount of spam I get on any given day, but continually reporting it on Spamcop hasn't had any impact at all.

Don't bother reporting your spam on Spamcop, because the only thing it does is waste your time.

I've been using it for years but it seems to do absolutely NOTHING about the spam problem. They don't even tell you what is done with the reports. In some cases they refuse to get the reports to the appropriate ISP, meaning you just wasted your entire effort. I'm almost done with them because it seems like all the benefit goes to SpamCop and zero benefit goes to me (who is doing all the actual work). They need to be a little more forthcoming about what is actually done with the reports you send to them, besides wasting the time of the people doing the reporting. They need to be a little more active in blacklisting the servers that generate spam, especially those which are sending spam that is attempting to extort money via BitCoin. The stupid ISPs who can't get their act together should get out of the business they're in if they can't maintain a halfway decent level of security on their mail servers and not whine to SpamCop if they are blacklisted.

For sure, SpamCop has no interest in writing software to direct complaints to the appropriate abuse email addresses that are easily found on the web.
My guess is that SpamCop IT programmers and staff just sit around smoking marijuana all day and at 3:30 pm go zooming to the farthest bar in their brand new Tesla and have sex.
These guys have to be the very laziest people on the planet.
The only report they send is to *******@hotmail.com.
I found these IP addresses in the report I sent: 194. 72. 6. 62,81.144.232.66. Both belong to bt.com. It turns out that bt.com actually has a complaint email: *******@bt.com.
SpamCop did not send anything to them.
Very few of the one hundred or so reports I sent showed that SpamCop passed the report to anyone except hotmail.com. Well, hotmail.com isn't going to do anything. Their response is always that it isn't their server sending the spam, so they can't do anything about it.

For the average internet user, spamcop is too complex with all those complex instructions is definitely user-unfriendly. I got tons of Canadian pharmacy viagra spam or as they call it unsolicited email and whenever I forward the spam to them I get an error message that no spam was found, well genius, with an email address like *******@mail.com sending you VIAGRA spam, what else can it be? I never approved to have sent said spam emails to my address. While tired of the $#*! and trying to report the spam, I found out I already used this service once in the past, since I already had an account. I suddenly remembered I got the same erroneous results back that time too. So basically, I really do not like the site and I don't intend to use it ever again. I'll give it 2 stars for the benefit of a doubt, that once learned it's efficient, but I don't intend to dedicate myself so much to figure out something made so user-unfriendly. It kinda repells me.

I feel like I am wasting my time. I had better luck before when I used other WHOIS websites and contacted the ISP directly. I have spent hours sending in 1000s of Spam Mails and to be honest the volume of Spam from the same providers has increased 3-4 times. Iccloml. Loan is the most infamous... now getting 50-100 a day from "Alex"... based in China not sure what Spamcop can do other than tell them that I am an active email account so... send me more.

I've been using the paid version to support SpamCop, and have reported many hundreds of spam over the last years. With the "fuel" I one time paid for some years ago already I still can report many hundreds of spam more. At this rate I won't have to buy more "fuel" for some years to come.

To make it easy on myself I use the free version of MailWasher. That free version allows for one email account only, but that is fine with me, as I have only one. It offers the option to report spam to SpamCop with just two clicks. Highly recommended.

Been using for less than a week, and already, my Spam, which had become totally unmanageable -- 100s each day, including dozens of new ones. Got fewer than 15 all day today. Have purchased few dollars of extra fuel, happily, but don't think I really needed it, although the submissions did speed up a lot. Highly recommend using this site if you're overwhelmed by spam.
