Bill, I have never used spamcop. Is it easy to use?

Absolutely.

You have to create an account with the usual methods.

Once done, you log in one time. It will tell you "paste email with full header into or forward to AbDc45673EdRt@..... spamcop.net." After this first login, you can always use this address to forward emails, saving you the login step. It is bound to your account.

The forward option is easiest if you use an offline program.

Before forwarding, display the full header info of the email, then hit forward, forward to the address.

You will receive a response from spamcop with a link in it. Click it. Brings you to site with details . . . scroll to bottom (and read the info the first few times so you know what you're doing . . .) and submit.

Did it work? I guess it's like the lottery, you have to be in it to win it.

LOL . . . well like I said, I never know whether it did or not, because like most people I used to get tons and spamcop'ing them seemed to have no effect. But with a "clean" email address, it looks like it's working.

Two more days go by . . . no spam. Sweet! :-)

I guess more than anything this thread might spread a ray of hope if this is true . . . kill those old emails, start fresh . . . . and do it right this time. :-) Remove the address from your pages, use a no-reply@ for all your forms, never, ever, ever, I mean NEVER, use a mail system autoresponder, educate your customers on how to BCC all their stupid videos and jokes, and spamcop everything that deserves it.
