Benefits of paying for Spamcop services

[Paul Winstone]

I've been using Spamcop almost since its inception. But now as I've had my
own domain name in action for a while, I'm getting more and more spam to it.

Can anyone tell me if I can by subscribing to any service have the spam
reports processed automatically? This is the most time consuming part of the
service at the moment and it does get annoying. Of course its the spammers
to blame though.

"Quick Reporting" is the feature you seek. As I wrote in "FAQ Entry:
What is Quick Reporting?" at http://tinyurl.com/b5ueg and just modified
for text posting here:
Quick Reporting allows the reporting of only spam sources, very
quickly.

Emphasis: *ONLY the spam source* Nothing in the body of the spam is even
looked at by the parsing engine.
Further explanatory notes found in "Is quick-reporting still BETA?" at

Some procedural issues are addressed by Julian in "Mailhosts and Quick
Reporting" at http://tinyurl.com/87bqo .

Email-based Quick Reporting is a feature of the SpamCop Parsing and
Reporting System which may be allowed on a case-by-case basis by
Deputies or Admins.

Web-based Quick Reporting is an exclusive feature of the SpamCop Parsing
and Reporting System which only SpamCop Email System Customers may
access, and which can currently be used from both Systems' websites. On
the SpamCop Parsing and Reporting System, that feature is variously
known as VER (Very Easy Reporting), Held Email, Held Mail Log, and held
log. In all cases, it resides at
http://mailsc.spamcop.net/reportheld?action=heldlog . It has six Actions
as follows:
VER Action Webmail Capability
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quick - report immediately and trash "Report as Spam"
Queue for reporting (and move to trash) In Progress
Queue for reporting (do not trash) In Progress
Forward (and whitelist sender) "Release and Whitelist"
Forward (do not whitelist sender) Release (or Move or Open and
Redirect)
Delete Delete

To "Queue for reporting" from Webmail, forward to your
***@spam.spamcop.net address.
