Evil Spam Email address -- where can I report it?
 

At one of my email addresses I received a bunch of letters asking to be "removed" and calling me all kinds of nasty things. I was very confused because I haven't sent anything from that address in over a month, and I only used it for personal stuff.

I then looked inside and all the emails were sent to an address at onlinecouncil.com. I will not post the entire address here because I do not want anyone to send to it.

I did send an email to it and all I put in the email is "test." Now I am receiving tens of thousands of bounceback emails from bad email addresses along with nasty replies screaming at me to stop spamming them.

Where can I report this email address? This must be stopped immediately. It feeds onitself, because people reply to it demanding not to be spammed, only to start the whole thing over again. It's been nearly 24 hours, and I've only gotten through the initial number and letter "a" emails as far as the bounceback crap. Looks like I'll be getting these for a week or so. This is an enormous list!

I would imagine that ISPs could block it though. How do we go about doing that?

cant do shit about it, someone has you as the return.

Actually what has happened is I emailed (not the exact email address) [email protected] and now it is sending to 10 million people as me.

weird shit. i have a similar problem only i think someone is just using my email as a return or fake headers with my email or something. i get bounced emails and ppl asking to be taken off some list. sucks. i just hope isp's dont ban my domain..

Same thing happens with single name yahoo, hotmail, aol & excite email accounts...

Same happened here last month. Fortunately they used a domain that I don't use for anything. Didn't get any nasty letters, but LOTS of returned emails!

just my luck they use the domain of my most popular site.

You have been "joe Jobbed". Often SPAMMMRS due this for revenge, on people who report them , but often they'll just choose some email address at random.

If I were you, I would take the following steps.

*Let your host know the problem if you are getting hundreds of bounces. Examination of the header will prove you are not the SPAMMER.
*Run a spamcop with "show technical" details and a whois/tracert on the spamvertised domain to determine who is hosting the website.
Try complaining to the host.
*If he is using a billing company and/or affiliate program, try complaining to them.
*See who registered his domain from his "whois". If it is someone like GoDaddy, the registrar might take some action.
*Check out his registration info, it the info is obviously bogus, report him to ICANN and if you get really lucky, they may take away the domain.

Some or none of these steps may work. Good luck...

someone just did it 2 me, my host has a catch all which in turn goes to garbage so I don't see' em. host is verio

block internally the bounced back messages.. or setup all the bounced backs to forward to spamcop.. will kill just about every proxy they are using to mail.. if it's not [email protected] auto forward to spamcop.. the shit will still accept it and report it

http://www.fastwebsites.com/home/contact.htm

Pick some email addies here and forward the mail with full headers to them... IF the mail is actually coming from that domain, then the host can figure it out. It could be a spoof tho.

But the host email addies are on the above link. :)

Did a WhoIs:

"Status: PROTECTED

I'll try some of those other steps as well. Thanks.

Gemini... are you saying that th eonlincecouncil.com domain is regsitered at that FastWebSites place? .. unless some type of spoof? That would be good to know. I will contact them...


ah... you're looking at the DNS servers! nice call!

NP Ivadavid. ;-) People who do this just slow down the net mails out of pure spite. They should have their computer access taken away. Idiotic kids usually. They are almost as bad as so called 'opt-in' spammers.

Here it is:

Fastwebsites.com appears to be the host. Also the phone number in contact info appears to be fake so a complaint to ICANN is also in order.
