Spam Reporting

Does Mailwasher Pro include the facility to report spam without downloading Emails to a mail program?
If not - future development?

Yes, but it's restricted to reporting to SpamCop or our own FirstAlert service only.
There is a Registry hack that allows you to set a different email address in the SpamCop settings as well

rusticdog,
I have been reporting to Spamcop, so I am half way there.
However, I don't understand your comment about "registry hack .....".
Please explain what I need to do.

I have found out how to set up Mailwasher Pro to report Spam to Spamcop.
Tested it.
Received acceptance receipts from Spamcop.

Thanks for your help.

Some folk don't want to report their spam to SpamCop but other services such as Knujon. The registry hack/patch allows any email address to be entered into the SpamCop screen in MailWasher, instead of an address that is SpamCop specific.
