Product Description:

The SpamCop bundle for Apple's Mac OS X Mail client makes it much easier to use the SpamCop reporting service when dealing with spam. To use it properly, you need to sign up for (at least) a free reporting account at www.spamcop.net.

If you are using Apple's Mail application on Mac OS X to read your email, you will find that it will not forward messages easily/properly for spam reporting. SpamCop, contradictory to their own instructions to simply show all headers, wants the full source of a message for processing. In Mail, that can by had by selecting a spam message and then the menu item Message->Show->Raw Source. What is commonly done is to click on that text, do a Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy, switch over to your browser, click on your SpamCop bookmark, click in the text area, Edit->Paste, and click on the "Process Spam" button to submit it. Whew! A lot of work, but at least it was pointless.

Register for spamcop on the web

Follow the instructions in the dmg fror manual install , go to

http://www.tikouka.net/mailapp/

and download the spamcopsend apple script.

Then just make sure everything in your junk folder is unrequested spam.

When you click o the applescript it wil ask you for your reporting address (you can get this at spamcop, right above the box you normally put your headers in).

So far seems to work great.

Not working on Intel 10.4.6 - Version: 1.3.2, 6/16/2006 04:19PM PST

Aspartame&MSGsuck!

I too have just moved from 10.4.6 (PowerPC) to an Intel MacBook running 10.4.6 and cannot get it to fly either... Let's hope someone can come up with a fix!

MacIntel and/or 10.4.6 compatibility?? - Version: 1.3.2, 5/22/2006 10:02PM PST

aliastemp

I've moved to a new MacBook Pro, with 10.4.6 (from an old G4 PowerMac that had been updated as far as ~10.4.6), and despite initial hiccoughs I got it installed without the bundle deactivation problem (thanks to Eric's instructions)... but still there is no preference panel and no menu item... I had gotten very comfortable with this great reporting facility, and now I find that not only am I unable (so far) to get it to work, but it's been end-of-lifed... Wow, what a bummer!

Anyone gotten this to work with a MacIntel?? If so, HOW??

Thanks!
