Can I automatically forward spam from my spamtraps?
If you are a mailserver administrator and you have have spamtraps, you may help feed the SpamCop database, subject to administrator approval. Traps must consist of email addresses which have never been used for legitimate email. They should not be “recycled” user accounts. They should not be well known email addresses, however fake. Spammers and other users should not be aware what the addresses are and you should try to keep them as confidential as is reasonably possible. SpamCop will also keep them secret. We never reveal trap messages. Web-poison addresses and the like are acceptable sources. Traps must be submitted in real-time (no delay under normal circumstances). There are three possible methods for submitting traps (in order of preference): • MX hosted: SpamCop mail servers receive mail for your domain(s) directly. You update your dns records to designate SpamCop servers as your MX for the domain(s). We will forward back to you accounts you wish to preserve.
