Why does SpamCop want to send a report to my own network administrator?
SpamCop no longer (as of Feb 25th, 2003) trusts relays which have not been submitted for relay testing by SpamCop. If you find your mailserver (or your ISP’s mailserver) is not trusted (“recently discovered, untrusted as relay”), please avoid reporting it as the source of spam, but do submit it for testing (uncheck the box(es) labeled ‘network where email originates’ and leave checked ones labeled ‘open-relay testing’) After 48 hours if the system is not found to be an open relay or proxy (and it meets SpamCop’s other criteria), sources of spam it identifies will be accepted by SpamCop. One reason this problem can occur is because your internal mail server does not indicate the source IP address of the spam. Talk to your network administrator about fixing the problem. The other, more complicated and more common cause of this problem is when the email bounces around the network too much, causing a chain error. This problem can also be solved by your system administrator.
