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 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 report all kinds of stupid spam / scam emails through Spamcop.net.
There are free and paid options that you can use. I usually report scam emails through the free service.

On a side note someone has registered "spamcop.com". Its a small site trying to sell software listed on ebay??

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.

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.

I hate spam like many people do. All you do is right click on the spam email, hit view message source, copy, then paste it onto the Spamcop site and it tells you what ISP it came from and sends an abuse report for you. It'll also tell you who hosts and offending links in the spam. It's a free site, but they'll bug you for donations.

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.

Spamcop should be used by any admin that wants to help fight spam in general. We're all in it together and any report helps.. Not sure what the nay-sayers are expecting from a service to report spam to, but I don't think they get what it's for..

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.

Went from receiving 30-40 spam emails a day (individual user) to ZERO for the last week!
Took me a month or so of diligent reporting and learning that reporting spam from Russian ISPs only generated more spam. But now I'm virtually spam free!!
Couldn't be more pleased!!

I run a small security company and got an email from my IT support provider, when I replied it returned to me stating that SpamCop has me on their blacklist so my email is now no longer allowed to get through to my IT service provider.

Now I don't even do any email marketing and send out only a few emails daily, so how on earth can I be on some supposed blacklist.

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.

I have used the paid version of Spamcop for many years and am extremely happy with it. At least 80% of the spam I receive is blocked, which is extremely helpful since my e-mail address is public knowledge. You do have to tweek the filter, selecting various parameters and which blacklists you want consulted. In this way the sensitivity can be increased or decreased. This might be difficult for people who are not computer literate, but the improvement in service is well worth the effort.

I used SpamCop.com and they claimed I was reporting things that were not spam. I have not idea what I submitted that was not spam. I called to get some help on the issue and spoke to a very RUDE lady who offered no help. They closed my account, so now I support the spamers!

I've been using the free version of SpamCop for years and have never seen any less spam, quite the opposite (and not blaming Spamcop for this) I am experiencing loads of spam lately. Waste of time, reporting, etc, and when you report through the email they provide, the email come back saying is not spam, when clearly is...

I have used spamcop's free reporting for years but never knew if it was really helping until I tested it for myself. Who hasn't received an email from a scammer calling themselves Farida Waziri, a real person who is the Executive Chairperson of the Nigerian EFCC? I certainly have, dozens of them. Spamcop will probably not appreciate me doing this but one time I decided to string one of these scammers along while also reporting them. I would make up tale after tale as to why I had not yet been able to send them their "fee" to release my millions of dollars. Sometimes it was several days before they replied. They said they kept having problems with their email account and had to reregister (thanks to spamcop's reporting, no doubt). By the time I finally tired of toying with them and told them I had only been doing so to waste their time, their return email address was Farrrrida Waziiiiri. So yes, reporting to spamcop does get results but can't really stop these devils, nothing can. They just reregister using a different name or, as in this case, just add a few more letters to the name they're using. Still, it wasted some of their time, time that might have been used emailing someone else who was more gullible than me who could have fallen into their trap.

I paid for the spamcop email address, as well as having paid fuel to these $#*!s. Never received any confirmation, could not login. Then, I tried to find a contact address. If they are so good at stopping spam, they at least ought to have some sort of means to contact them on their website. When I finally contacted them, I was treated like an idiot nuisance child by an idiot. They claim there was nothing wrong on their side.

It's time to BlackList SpamCop! All GoDaddy users being blocked??!!!!

SpamCop has deliberately blocked my email - even though we have not done anything that violates their policy AND the IP address that they

are supposedly blocking is not ours!!!

After and sending me a nasty notice telling me that my IP address has been blocked, and wasting my time researching the problem, I discover

that SpamCop does not even have the right IP address!

Instead it turns out that SpamCop is blocking a global list of GoDaddy addresses that also use the same mail server.

This means that SpamCop has Blacklisted our emails for reasons that are not within our control, and not our responsibility. SpamCop

deliberately interferes with legitimate business.

It's time to BlackList SpamCop! Stop paying for an arbitrary, unreliable, "protection racket."

I am desperately trying to find an ISP that does NOT use Spam Cop or a similar service. This company has caused me to lose business contracts by intercepting vital, legitimate emails, and they don't even have the balls to put an email address or phone number on line to make themselves accountable to me. I have NEVER authorized Spam Cop to filter my emails. I have emphatically told my ISP several times that I do not want them doing it. They tell me they've turned Spam Cop off, and then next thing I know, somebody else forwards me a returned message saying Spam Cop intercepted their email. I have now fired three ISPs because of their use of Spam Cop. If anybody knows a company that offers domain hosting that does NOT use Spam Cop or a similar service. Please post it hear. I'm begging you. I'm desperate.

I changed over from Spam Arrest, which I wasn't completely happy with to SpamCop. I set it up and it seemed to be working. Then I went to bed and woke up to find I had no emails. Strange. I get many. I got a Skype message from an associate that my emails had been bouncing back to him. I heard from others who told me the same thing. So I went back to Spam Arrest and emailed SpamCop with my issue. No reply. I emailed them 3 times. Still no reply. Now it's a week later. I have twice emailed asking for a refund and still no reply. This service sucks!

All my emails I send are blocked by spamcop, I'm on the Online.net network, i have my own website and they block all email sent on the STMP service of Online.net but my website is not a spammer. That is bull$#*!.
