Hi,The biggest problem with spamcop, and reporting spam in general, IMO,
I know this is off-topic but since joining this list I'm getting
increasing levels of Spam. I've heard that using SpamCop.net to process and
report spam can help. Is this true? Is it worth bothering with?
is that you have to open the message in order to do so. Many spammers
nowdays have little notification mechanisms embedded in the HTML of
their messages which sends an ack to the spammer that your address is
valid and you do indeed "read your spam." This, in turn, brings more
spam to your address.
If you've recieved an obvious spam message, and you're using Mozilla, right-click on it and select 'Forward' to send it to spamcop. Then right-click again and select 'Delete'. That way the message never gets opened.
