Nov 24, 2012 5:31 PM in response to InspiredReflectionsby dmcosta000,been having this same issue for several days now, a few went thorugh, but most are being bounced. Do they have new way to do this?

Nov 25, 2012 5:25 AM in response to dmcosta000by Stan Fisher,From Apple Help for reporting spam, the "forward as attachment" still applies, but it's also noted that if the email is marked as junk, it's also reported to Apple. I received another bogus YouTube email this morning - my inability to report spam seems to coincide with the receipt of the first of these - and my attempt to forward it failed.

Nov 25, 2012 1:23 PM in response to Stan Fisherby Stan Fisher,I have just received another bogus YouTube email (this one had a Russian address) and was finally able to forward it to spam@me.com without the postmaster going into "over quota" hysteria.

Nov 25, 2012 3:02 PM in response to Stan Fisherby bjay25,Stan, me too. After seeing your message I tried sending the two spams that did not go through days ago and received the welcomed Greetings from Apple that they received the spam. Maybe Apple was over quota from the volume. Who knows, but it's working now... thanks for the persistence.

Nov 25, 2012 8:03 PM in response to bjay25by Rick Ternosky,I too have now been able to send msgs (the bogus YouTube msgs and others) to Spam and not get a delivey failure notifucation. BUT... I haven't gotten the usual 1st Confirmation msg...are others still getting that msg?
-
Nov 26, 2012 6:33 AM in response to Rick Ternoskyby bjay25,Rick, I received email replies from Apple that my spam emails were received.

Nov 27, 2012 10:15 AM in response to bjay25by Stan Fisher,The bogus YouTube spam keeps trickling in, but it's great to be able to send it to Apple - thanks for the cyber repair, whoever did it.

Nov 27, 2012 11:10 AM in response to bjay25by Rick Ternosky,Latest YouTube spam fwd'd today...but no confirmation email from Apple...
-
Nov 27, 2012 11:46 AM in response to Rick Ternoskyby Stan Fisher,I have not received a confirmation either (ironically, it always annoyed me, after forwarding spam as an attachment to them, that they would immediately send a message acknowledging receipt - and with the instruction that spam should be forwarded as an attachment) but unlike the past two weeks, the forwards seem to be going through. Or at least they don't bounce off the postmaster as before.
-
Nov 27, 2012 11:50 AM in response to Stan Fisherby Pondini,Same here.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Apple has suspended the confirmations (temporarily or not), due to what must be an enormous flood of (bogus) YouTube spam.
-
Nov 27, 2012 9:45 PM in response to Pondiniby pgonzalez,Finally got a response, a new auto-response this time from the iCloud postmaster, when forwarding off some spam.. the same youtube and other crap we've all been recently getting.
Just before all this the auto-repsonse was from the MobileMe postmaster.. ;_)
-
Nov 29, 2012 10:21 AM in response to pgonzalezby Rick Ternosky,It does appear all spam fwd's are now getting "accepted" at Apple, from several different spam sources...so that's great. But stll not getting any Conf msgs...which I too kinda don't mind as they are a little unnecessary. Just commenting now for sake of this discussion.

Apr 10, 2013 9:35 AM in response to InspiredReflectionsby Cinemagic,Unfortunately, it seem that reporting spam has no effect. I have reported spam from the same address, a Spanish spammer, for several months and continue getting the same spam from the same spammer.

Apr 11, 2013 6:03 AM in response to Cinemagicby bjay25,Cinemagic,
For me, at least, the few spammers I "acquired" on my Apple acccount did get stopped using the Apple reporting. I also used www.spamcop.com at the same time so I'm unsure which service performed for me. On an ISP service email account I have one very old email address that only had spam delivered to it. It took two years using Spamcop to finally rid that address of spam. There is hope, with patience. Good Luck.

Jun 9, 2013 6:28 PM in response to InspiredReflectionsby simsboynton,I am answering this question because I’ve received so many spoof/spam messages lately to my email address(es) at me.com.
I decided to find out how to report them.
Here’s what I found out:
Suspicious email messages can be forwarded to one of the following;
Make sure to include the long header.
Long headers can be displayed using the menubar (see below)
Then either copy & paste the long header or simply forward the entire message.
Example of long header from a suspicious email:
