Hello All,

 

The other day, I tried to report a Spam that had originated from IP address 195.59.76.89 which belongs to Cable & Wireless. I sent my report to their abuse-mailbox: abuse@cw.com that is listed on their Whois listing.

 

Instead of a proper response, I received the following error message:

 

-------------------

abuse@cw.com

SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:

host service97.mimecast.com [91.220.42.49]: 554 Email rejected due to security policies - MCSpamSignature.sa.39.3 - http://www.mimecast.com/knowledgebase/KBID10473.htm#554

-------------------

 

And when I tried to report this error message [not the Spam report] to their network, I received a similar error message from CW:

 

-----------

 

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
 
  ipadmin@cw.net
    SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
    host service98.mimecast.com [195.130.217.59]:

Therefore, I like to know why Cable & Wireless does not allow incoming abuse reports come to their Abuse e-mail listed on their Whois contact.

 

I hope to receive more information from members of this group, and possibly from Cable & Wireless as well.

 

Thank you,
