Subject: googlepages.com abuse
I have recently starting seeing spams with URLS containing
Google pages websites
Currently I am scoring all googlepages.com link mails with 1.5 :-(
How do you folks trap these mails , And how do we report
abuse to google ( if they really bother )
You can't. Google ignores complaints, and email to @googlepages.com
will bounce in 5 days due to their refusal to even follow the RFC's and
have a server to receive email.
Change the score to 10 and don't look back.
Let their users have their own isolated piece of the spam infected
world.
I have written a short script to send the complain to google. AFAIK
Google should not mind a BOT sending them a complain
I simply alias this script and send the google abuse to this alias
If anyone wants to use this ( just change the name and id )
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Script to emulate a browser for posting a abuse complaint to google

# Modules with routines for making the browser.

Er, which RFC are you claiming requires them to have a server to receive mail? In any case I inquired of an acquaintance who works at Google and got this response to the question of how do we report abuse: Web link: http://www.google.com/support/pages/bin/request.py with links there for spam, phishing, scumware, etc. Email links get too heavily spammed so the one contact address which has leaked gets a push-back mail to use the web form. All complaints are acted upon quickly but no individual replies are sent. Quickly here is in practice within one business day (but I don't believe that there's a formal commitment to this). Any evidence that a complaint has been ignored would be interesting to see; ultimately, is the page still up? is the check.
