working well but no longer supported?

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. This bundle works really well and makes it easy to report spam if the volume is low (since you have to confirm each spam report manually). If the volume is high you might want to try Sp@mx. I'm not seeing the problem the previous posting noted so I guess it was fixed (am using OS X 10.3.7). The developer page says they are no longer supporting the product due to their account with spamcop getting suspended over some sort of misunderstanding. They warn that it is likely it will stop working once the next OS X upgrade (10.4) comes out. Meanwhile, this works great. Hopefully they will get the spamcop problem worked out.
great

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. This tool is the only reason I use SpamCop! It makes reporting to SpamCop a breeze and is the primary reason I signed up for a spamcop account! Thank-you!
Almost impossible to install!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I find this piece of software the most difficult to install!!! Ever since I've moved over to this external drive I've NOT been able to reinstall this software...no matter how many times I've tried! Type the command into the terminal and then what...hit return...close the terminal window, quit the terminal, leve it open. What does one do with the terminal BEFORE dragging the mailbundle folder into the BUNDLE folder and restarting MAIL? It REALLY does need a fix in this area.
Works for me

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I've found this to be a very good piece of software. Works fine with me in 10.3.1. A nice little addition, though, if it's possible, would be the option to add an icon to the toolbar to report spam, similar to the "junk" button provided by Apple, but maybe with the purple spamcop logo. Just a thought. Anyway, it's still good without that.
Seems to work

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I've installed it without problems, and it does generate reports. I'll see if my reported spam will be stopped. Anyway: spam is far too widespread, and this software will never stop spam to reach your inbox...
works well...

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. nicer than the AppleScript I've been using and works very nicely. No fault of the app or the service but IMO reporting spam generally does little good at all. In two years now I still get cr@p from the same old faces, along with more and more new ones. Blacklisting doesn't stop them either -- open relays abound. :-(
Nice Fix

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Lately, SpamCop 1.2.1 had been getting slow and unreliable. The 1.2.2 update got things back to normal. I am using "reporting only" mode, so can't comment on the rest of the service.
Nice!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I've been using this for about week - without a hitch or problem. I get 50 or so spam messages a day in my Mail app and this makes the reporting process really quick and easy. Nice job!

Developer’s Description

adds menu to Mail to auto-report spam

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.
