Reporting Spam (Unsolicited Email / Junk Email) to NetMails.NET Administrators

If you are an account holder at NetMails.NET and you have received Spam in your NetMails.NET mailbox, please contact the sender's ISP (or mailserver). Although we try to filter Spam delivered to your Inbox, no filtering is 100% foolproof. This page is intended for victims of Spam who believe a member of NetMails.NET sent the unsolicited (junk) email to them.

NetMails.NET is as ANTI-Spam as it gets. We do not host any other web sites other than our own. That said, we are not going to argue that the Spam did not originate from our servers. We do provide email service to users and it is quite possible that one of the users decided to break our Terms of Service.

If you find reading this text a waste of time, you may forward the complete email (as an attachment - with complete headers) to our abuse address - . However, if your real intent is to make Internet a better place to be, please read the text below.

Determine the real origin of the Spam

Now-a-days, spammers use real email address of innocent victims as their 'From, Sender or Reply-To' address. Since Internet mail (as it exists today) does not have any system to verify the authenticity of the sender, it is very easy for anyone in the world to put NetMails.NET as their From address or Reply-To address. Why do they do that? Because they just don't want to get hundreds of bounced mails and they don't really care about replies. In fact, anybody on the Internet can send a mail out on your name just as well you can.

If you are familiar with Internet Mail Headers, you can look at the "Received:" lines to see where it is coming from. Remember that you cannot trust all the "Received: " headers you see there. Starting from the top, you can trust everything up to the last line reported by the last trusted host you see in the list. Until we come up with a script to help you identity the real source, we suggest that you use the Spam reporting page at SpamCop.net

If SpamCop confirms that the origin of the mail is NetMails.NET, they themselves will forward a copy of the mail to us.

What else can I do?

Follow the money

It is easier to identify and punish the beneficiary of Spam rather than the person who sent the Spam. So the first step is to identify the URL advertised and try to do a whois lookup on the domain part of the URL.

Make a pledge

Spend some time to educate your friends (and anybody else you know) and make sure that they will never buy a product advertised via unsolicited email.

What does NetMails.NET do to prevent its servers from being abused by spammers?

NetMails.NET is NOT a free email provider. That is the single biggest hurdle for spammers. Most spammers wouldn't risk revealing their identity (and really spend money!) by paying for the service via PayPal. On top of this, we enforce rate limits on incoming and outgoing mail.
