Hi,

I use IMAP held mail advantages and I remember one day zinio got
blocked so I checked that folder immediately after buying popular
mechanics subscription.

I wanted to have a hard copy in hand of mail.

Its in held mail and says spamcop own blocking list blocked it. I don't
have a slight clue why would that happen.

Its a known company, not spamming, does business and their mails have
proper opt in-out schemes. Its a digital magazine dealer (Adobe DRM
PDF). If one gets mail from them, its likely his/her friend actually
gave the mail address to share his/her mag. (There is a option)

It may be a huge problem since people like me (buying mags) disables
its checking for magazines at startup so the only real reminder left
is: mail. No, its not very clever to have a 20mb application running to
show a new mag arrived once a MONTH :)


I will make a favor to foreigners like me liking to read mags online
since subscription with fedex etc is not a option, will notify either
spamcop or zinio. Who to notify?

I'd call it abuse of spamcop, no less. I mean if someone actually
abused the spamcop to make them in blocking list.

Hi,

No supersede or cancel option on client I use, so sorry for replying own post.

I checked why it was blocked and my guess was right, 6 persons reported
it as spam.

I notified zinio and spamcop , I guess it was all needed to do.

Sorry if I sound harsh, I had my paid ***@spamcop.net address
rejected as fake on couple of sites, looks like "give them
***@spamcop.net" moronic advice of some lamers started to hurt
us, real spamcop mail customers.

So I got a bit tired of those abuses as a user.

The listings at

don't help. :(

Well normally its their admins job to notify spamcop about abuse of
their services (yes, its an abuse) but they can't figure if a freak
like me actually takes time to alert them :)

I sent that "blocklist removal request" stating I am a spamcop customer
only, I wouldn't go mad if they don't care about it :)

I just hope some abusers will at least get a warning from spamcop about
their "reporting"

I just don't want some non technical people go panic about their mags
or billing as it will end up in held mail now, that's all. So I did my
best as a end user.

Have a nice day
