Before I learned about Spamcop, I used to report spam myself by going through the
headers and using TRACERT to figure out who the ISP of the spammer was. If the ISP
was not a major ISP (like ATT, Sprint, MCI, etc), I would report the spam to the
intermediate ISPs up to and including the major one. So if the TRACERT returned a
list like this MyISP.NET, CW.NET, MCI.NET, JoesISP.NET, MarysISP.NET, Spammer.COM;
then I would report the spam to MCI.NET, JoesISP.NET, and MarysISP.NET. I did this
because I was concerned that the spammer could own JoesISP and MarysISP, so that the
spammer would receive (and ignore) the reports himself. Including the major ISP would
ensure that they were informed that ISPs that they serve were sending spam (either
directly or indirectly).
Does Spamcop take this sitaution into account when it decides where to send the spam
reports? For example, if spam reports are always ingored from MarysISP, then record
in your database to send reports to JoesISP too. If JoesISP ignores the reports also,
then record in your database to send them to MCI too.
