Where to send spam-from-sonic headers?

by darrylo » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:17 pm
According to the headers, I appear to have gotten some spam from another sonic user (there are only sonic systems listed in the headers). I'm guessing that they got compromised, but to whom should I send the headers? I seem to recall that there was some sonic address, but I've forgotten what it is.

Thanks.

Send them to [email protected]. There's a pretty good chance that we already know about it and have locked the user but it helps us anyway.

Hopefully it will help. I've been increasingly getting more spam and most of my inquiries to support go unanswered.

Sonic, it's time to ditch SA and get a better spam solution. SA was the rage in 2004 but it's just failing too often.

Has something changed in the spam filtering? For the past week I've had a lot of spam slip through that ordinarily would land in my graymail.

I think it's just the spam filter is obsolete. I've been complaining about the problem for 2-3 months now. I've tweaked SA with terse settings, I've started using Sonic's DNS black lists but every few weeks the spammers seem to get through. A year ago I hardly saw any spam, now I get them in waves.

They need to replace SpamAssassin with a more up-to-date system. I'm for FOSS as much as the next guy, but we need to get rid of this spam.

Tweaking SA's settings is just too complicated for the average user. I Bounce emails back to the sender, often receiving an Undeliverable reply (natch). At least that ends up in my Graymail. I wish there were a way to forward the darn things to Sonic to say, "This. This is what I don't want."

Maybe just post 'em here, like the block-this-number stuff. :-)

Wish that worked.

Oops, just saw this after pasting content in another thread. So forwarding inline with headers to abuse@ is the thing to do? Or keep looking at headers and training SA myself? I don't want to waste anyone's time if there's no point in forwarding the messages. Thanks.

Oh and thanks for the work Sonic has contributed to SA. Much appreciated. :D
