SpamCop Email System News

[13:22 EDT] The previous problem with bellsouth.net emails (as well as att.net and sbcglobal.net) appears to be resolved. Those emails should be delivered normally now.
[10:18 EDT] Mail to bellsouth.net addresses isn't getting through right now as AT&T isn't allowing us to deliver it. We're working on getting this mail through. No mail will be lost, it will just be delayed until bellsouth.net lets us deliver mail again.

[13:10 EDT] The spoof or phishing emails trying to steal SpamCop passwords have started up again. Please do not respond to these. They are sent by scammers trying to steal your SpamCop login to get access to your email account.

[19:06 EDT] Several people reported problems sending to Hotmail or their related domains. We have had a workaround in place since this morning and mail should be going to those domains like normal. At the present time, we are aware of only a very small amount of mail that is being queued here waiting for delivery.

[22:32 EDT] As a reminder, spammers continue to send emails trying to get customers to send them their password. Please do not send your password in response to any emails you receive. If you have sent your password to someone, we ask that you change it as soon as possible by clicking Options, then SpamCop Tools at the top of the screen.
[22:30 EDT] Spammers have broken into a customer account today and used our webmail system to send a bunch of spam emails. As various receiving systems detect these spams, we may have a hard time delivering to certain domains for a few days. We will monitor the situation closely and work with ISP's to try to get mail delivered. Unfortunately, there are no limits to what spammers will do to steal money from people.

[11:47 EDT] We now have a workaround in place for blackberry.net. All old mail has been delivered and new mail is being delivered without any delay.
[10:19 EDT] We are having an ongoing problem delivering mail to Blackberry devices on blackberry.net. At the present time, blackberry.net is not accepting any email from us. We are attempting to contact them and are also working on a work-around until they start accepting email from us again.

[11:16 EDT] We have received a report that spammers are sending emails to SpamCop customers asking for them to reply and send back their spamcop.net password. This is just a scam, trying to steal passwords. Please do not reply to these emails with your passwords. We are not sending out emails asking you to confirm your email address.
