Hi Jeff and all,

Got some responses from bit.ly... Looks like they do not like the way we report spam with http://bit.ly links

QUOTE
In the future, please only send the offending bit.ly url only. By sending the entire message like you did, our e-mail system could easily think your spam report is spam and we would never see it.

We've blocked the link, thanks for the heads up. We do, incidentally, have a number of ways to preview a link. The simplest is to simply add a + sign to the end of any bit.ly link. You will then be taken to the info page for that link. We also have a bit.ly firefox extension which allows you to preview any bit.ly link simply by rolling over the link with your mouse. You can find that extension here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10297

In the future, you can report any rogue bit.ly's to: abuse@bit.ly or support+spam@bit.ly


An other frequent message I get is from vortech...

Can something be done to improve "Purify's relation" with this guy's (except nuking them) or let's just ignore them ? dry.gif

All the best !

Yeah, I wish. But remember that reporting spam (like receiving it) is a volume operation. smile.gif

I've been having great success in my reporting operations over the past few months. Sometimes I don't even blacklist a "new looking" spam, I just report the first few, and they disappear.
