Netscape

Preferred method:

  1. Open the spam message.
  2. Click on the "View" menu, then "Page Source," (ctrl-U in windows, meta-U in unix, ?-U on the Mac).
    For old Netscape versions: Click on the "View" menu, then "Headers," then "All."
    Note: This method will not work correctly with HTML spam.
  3. Copy the contents of the window (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C windows).
  4. Then Paste the whole message including the full headers into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

 

Netscape communicator also makes it very easy to report multiple messages using the email interface:

  1. Create a new message addressed to us at abuse@multilinks.net
  2. Drag each spam to the attachments window at the top of the message window.
  3. Send the mail.

Eudora

Note: Using the cut and paste into a new message is the only option available to Eudora users. To display the full message source for cut and paste:

    Eudora for the Mac:

  1. Open the spam and click the BLAH BLAH BLAH button on the upper left hand corner of the message. This shows the extended headers.
  2. Select the whole message including headers, paste into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Eudora for the PC - there are 2 slightly different methods depending on whether the mail contains HTML or not.

In any case, to prepare for HTML email, you should turn off the use of Microsoft's HTML viewer. To do so, click Tools, then Options, then Viewing Mail. Uncheck the box labeled "Use Microsoft's viewer."

How to know if it's HTML mail: once you have opened the email, look near the bottom of the headers (see below for revealing headers) for a line like the following: Content-Type: text/html ... you can frequently spot HTML email because it has font effects, pictures, etc, but this is not always true so you have to take a quick look at the headers.

Why do I care if it's HTML mail: all kinds of interesting things can be "hidden" in HTML mail that won't show up when you see the mail interpreted by your email program/browser. Actual URLs do not necessarily show up in interpreted HTML messages. For example: you might see CLICK HERE but the underlying HTML contains a URL that indicates the spammers web site. To help us track the source properly we need those hidden URLs.

    Eudora for the PC - non-HTML mail:

  1. Open the email by double clicking on the subject line. Click the 'blah blah blah' button to reveal the headers.
  2. Place your cursor anywhere in the body of the email and select the entire message (Edit/Select All or Ctrl-A)
  3. Copy the entire email (right click and click copy OR Ctl/C OR Edit/Copy)
  4. Paste (right click/paste or Ctl/V) the entire message into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

    Eudora for the PC - HTML mail:

  1. Open the email and click blah blah blah.
  2. Hi-lite the headers only. Copy and paste the headers into a new email message.
  3. Hit enter twice after the pasted headers to force a blank line after the headers.
  4. Back in Eudora window, place your cursor anywhere in the body of the message and right click and click "view source". A new window will open.
  5. In the new window, select all (as above) and copy the contents of the new window.
  6. Paste the window contents into the same new email message you just pasted the headers into and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Good news for Mac users!

Here is an AppleScript that works with Eudora for Mac to easily and seamlessly send us the entire spam message. To use the script, create the nickname "mlabuse" for our spam submission address abuse@multilinks.net in your address book, then save the below script as an application in your Eudora Apple-Script folder. On execution, the currently selected E-Mail will be made in a new email ready for sending to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Script:

    tell application "Eudora"
    set spammsg to message 0
    set spamsubject to "UNABLE TO REMOVE - WRONG SOURCE"
    set spamtext to whole text of message spammsg
    set mymsg to make new message at end of mailbox "out" of mail folder ""
    set signature of mymsg to none
    set rec to addresses of nickname "mlabuse"
    set field "to" of message mymsg to rec
    set field "subject" of message mymsg to spamsubject
    set field "" of message mymsg to spamtext
    end tell

One last tip from a user:

I transfer all spam messages to a folder named "a _spam folder". Once a day, I open Outlook Express (which I have configured only for outgoing (do not check for new mail)). I import the "_spam folder" (the _ places it toward the top of the list). I then select all messages, right click and "Forward as Attachment" to the spam submission address abuse@multilinks.net I then delete from both programs so I do not resubmit.

AOL
  1. Open the spam message you received.
  2. Forward it as an attachment to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Note: The MIME format is best for forwarding the attachment, although normal text/plain format will work fine too. Avoid uuencoding.

Pine

Open the spam message. If the feature is enabled, you simply press "H" to toggle full headers. If the feature is not enabled, you must enable it first: From the main menu, press (S)etup, (C)onfig. Scroll down about 40 lines to the option labeled "enable-full-header-cmd." Press [ENTER]. Press (E)xit, (Y)es - to save. Then you can return to the message window and use "H" to display the headers.

Then Copy and Paste the whole message including the full headers into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Lotus Notes (v.4.x and v.5.x)

Open the email, click on "Actions", then on "Tools", then on "Delivery Information."

Next, you have to pick out the internet-style mail header information from the window that appears when you select Delivery Information.

Lotus Notes v.4.x

Look for the first line that begins with "Received". There should be a blank line just above it. Then, scroll down to the next blank line. The stuff in between the two blank lines are the headers you need for sending to us.

Lotus Notes v.5.x

Look for the seperator line that reads
-------- Additional Header ------.
Select everyhing from there down to the next seperator line, usually
-------- Routing Information ------.
The stuff in between the two seperator lines are the headers you need for sending to us.

Lotus Notes v.5.x (easier method)

  1. Open your inbox
  2. Highlight the spam message that you wish to get header information for.
  3. Choose File -> Export...
  4. Type in a filename, leave the type as "Structured Text" and click Export
  5. From the Dialog Box that comes up, choose "Selected Documents" and click OK
  6. Now you can open that message you saved in Wordpad and Cut&Paste it into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Alternate method for those that don't have Delivery Information
Right-click on the email and select Document Properties. On the Fields tab, copy all the text from the value of the $AdditionalHeaders field. an example of the data provided for the $AdditionalHeaders field:

Field Name: $AdditionalHeaders
Data Type: TextList
Data Length: 1228 bytes
Seq Nun: 1
Dup Item ID: 0
Field Flags:
"Received: from westrelay03.boulder.ibm.com ([9.99.132.206]) by ...
13:44:09 -0400

Note that you want to copy everything AFTER the double quote and note there is no matching double quote - the area marked in bold.

If these methods both fail
Then you are probably in a Notes deployment that is using a customized client template, contact your Notes template designers for information on obtaining this information under their design.

General Notes Notes

These will not capture the Notes Server routings and hand offs, only the MTA hand offs, and so will not be any good for reporting spam from other Notes users. If you are getting spam from other notes users, contact your own system administrator to resolve the problem.

Pegasus Mail

In Pegasus E-Mail, to forward your spam to us, simply forward the spam, as outlined here, to our spam submission address at abuse@multilinks.net Perhaps a third party spam scanner has classified your e-mail for you, sorting it for easy reporting.

One way is to use Pegasus's built-in mail filtering rules, the general set, to move all your spam to a separate folder. Open that folder and right-click and select all messages. Press "Forward" and choose the option "Start a new message with the messages attached" (the third one down). Press "Send". It will ask, "you have entered a message with no subject (and possibly no body) are you sure you want to send it?" Reassure the program you want to send it. Then, under file, select "send all queued mail".

Another way:

These instructions provided for the impatient - please try to use the above method first.

Try just hitting the "backspace" to toggle from full headers to none, if this doesn't work then go through this rigamaroll:

In the New Mail or other folder window:

  1. Right click the message, and select Message Properties.
  2. In the right hand column uncheck the box beside Contains HTML data.
  3. Click OK. That should allow you to see the message as a text message only.
  4. Click Ctrl-H to bring up the full headers.
  5. Then Copy and Paste the whole message including the full headers into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Another way:

  1. Highlight the HTML spam in the new mail folder
  2. Open a new email message
  3. Drag the HTML spam onto the new message
  4. In the dialog that appears select "Show All Headers"
  5. Highlight the entire message, then copy to clipboard
  6. Paste message into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

WebTV

Two methods are available to WebTV users for sending the entire spam message to us. Be sure to turn off your html email sig first.

If you prefer to use the website submission form, it is necessary to "bounce" the spam to yourself first to obtain the full headers.

  1. While viewing the spam, hit "Forward" on the sidebar. Address the document to yourself.
  2. Completely erase the subject line.
  3. Put your cursor on the first line of the "body" (text area); Hit "Return" (enter) twice. Your cursor should now be on the 3rd line of the text area.
  4. Type any "Alt" character on this line; DO NOT HIT "RETURN"
  5. Cut and Paste the "Alt" character onto the subject line: (CMD+"A"), (CMD+"X"), (CMD +"V") The "Alt" character should "jump" down to the message text-area.
  6. Hit "Send"; open the received mail and Copy-Paste the item into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Mutt

Mutt has a mime_forward setting that must be enabled so that forwarded messages are sent as MIME-formatted attachments with full headers. This may be added to your ~/.muttrc file or entered after starting Mutt:

set mime_forward=yes

Once this is set, simply forward each message to our spam submission address abuse@multilinks.net using the f (forward) command.

Unfortunately, most people get more than one or two spam messages per day, and no one has their our spam submission address abuse@multilinks.net memorized (or always in their copy-paste buffer), so it's a good idea to create a macro for forwarding the spam to us.

The following macros will submit all of the currently tagged messages to us via email in a single message. It will work while viewing the list of messages in your mailbox (macro index) or while viewing a single message (macro pager) using the Ctrl-X command:

macro index \cx ":set autoedit=no fast_reply=yes  editor=\"/bin/true\"\n<tag-prefix><forward-message>abuse@multilinks.net\n<send-message>:set autoedit=yes fast_ reply=no editor=\"/usr/bin/editor\"\n" \
        "Forward mail to MultiLinks "
macro pager \cx ":set autoedit=no fast_reply=yes  editor=\"/bin/true\"\n<tag-prefix><forward-message>abuse@multilinks.net\n<send-message>:set autoedit=yes fast_ reply=no editor=\"/usr/bin/editor\"\n" \
        "Forward mail to MultiLinks"

Macro configuration notes:

  1. The macro must be defined on one line, with a backslash continuation character at the end of the line for the description.
  2. The macros assume that mime_forward is set to yes. If not, it may be set and unset within the macro definitions like fast_reply is set and then unset.
  3. If you set autoedit to no in your .muttrc, it may be removed from the macro definitions.
  4. If you set fast_reply to yes in your .muttrc, it may be removed from the macro definitions.
  5. You must change editor from /usr/bin/editor to the path of your real editor (unless you're also using Debian GNU/Linux).
  6. If you want to change the macros to only forward one message at a time (i.e., the currently highlighted or currently viewed message), then remove <tag-prefix> from the macro definitions.

Microsoft Outlook (all versions)

Outlook users please note:

The parsing code in the spam reporting system we use was recently tightened up in response to spammer exploits, meaning in order for spam to be parsed completely and correctly, the body of the message must match the types and content listed in the header. For example if the headers says:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="1DF3ECCF_8__7D2F.DCB93EB"

then the message body must match this.

Unfortunately, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has chosen their own proprietory method of handling messages in all Outlook versions from Outlook 97 through Outlook 2003 Beta. Outlook does not store in any way, shape or form, the original message source. It stores the original header, and it stores the message body and attachments in its own format.

This means it is not possible to present any multipart, alternative or html messages to our spam reporting system in a way that it can properly parse the message. The result is that it will scan and parse the message header, but will not scan the message body for links to report. However, there is a workaround for outlook.

Outlook does not properly forward mail with the headers and message body intact. Therefore, to send us the full spam message with Outlook you will have to either follow the directions below or use an add-on program or similar macro.

To send us the entire spam message with all the headers included you will need to first copy & paste the spam email headers and then copy & paste the body of the message into a new email message addressed to us. Once we receive your message we will do our best to patch them together. It should be noted that even with this, or any other work-around discovered to date, Outlook users simply cannot get the full email source. Outlook add-ons or work-arounds are only partial solutions, they do not actually get the full email source. Users are encouraged to complain about this deficiency to Microsoft.

Here is the workaround to send us the full spam message with the headers and message body intact:

  1. Open the message in a separate window (double click)
  2. Under the View menu select Options
  3. Copy the text in the Internet Headers window (unfortunately it doesn't include the message itself).
  4. Paste the headers you just copied into a new message addressed to us at abuse@multilinks.net
  5. Hit enter twice after the pasted headers to force a blank line after the headers.
  6. Close the options window
  7. If the spam header shows "text/html":
    • Right click on the body of the spam, and choose 'View Source'.
    • This automatically opens the HTML code up in Notepad.
  8. Copy the entire message body.
  9. Paste the message body into the same new email message you just pasted the headers into and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

Outlook Add-on Program:

The following add-on product has been created to help streamline this process for Outlook. We do not endorse or even test these programs. Links are provided for the convenience of our users. Questions and support must be directed to the provider of the program.

Onebox.com

Click on the subject of the spam in your inbox or other folder. This displays the message.

At the top of the message you will see the following links in the message frame right above the "reply" buttons:
[folder name] : Prev | Next : Download
Select "Download" from the above.

This changes the message window into the download window. In most cases you will see a line like this:
Full message: Content-Type: message/rfc822, with "Full Message" as a link.
(Note, depending on the spam, the "Content-Type" may not match the sample above. This shouldn't matter...)

Click on the "Full Message" link. A new browser window will spawn with both the headers and the message text. At this point, simply copy and paste all the text including the full headers into a new email message and send it to us at abuse@multilinks.net

You may then close that full message browser window. To get back to the folder where the spam was, simply click on the [folder name] link either in the message window, or in the onebox.com navigation frame to the left.
