2024-10-14 - Updated Report API and Fixed Return-Path Issue   

We have updated the API to allow for streamlined submission of spam complaints via an automated script. You can now use the API to easily submit spam complaints from your local machine (via PHP script or similar) or from your server.

We have also implemented a privacy update on the return-path in the complaints page. The return-path would sometimes contain user specific "ignore" strings because they were part of the return URL. This is now fixed and any user specific ignore strings you specify when submitting spam will now be hidden in the return-path part of the header when it is publicly displayed on the complaints page.

2024-04-19 - Significant Speed Improvements   

We've made significant changes to the backend that result in a significant speed improvement to spam reporting.

New datasets where added that will provide higher quality IP data, especially when it comes to ISP resolution and abuse contacts.

Rollup tables were fixed to correctly report summarized counts for all fields (ex: IP complaint count, ISP complaint count, registrar complaint count, etc).

Plenty of other features are still in the works. We are most interested in streamlining the reporting process so that it doesn't require drag-and-drag operations anymore.

2022-10-04 - Spam.org Now Supports IPV6 Reports

2021-05-07 - Report Network Abuse including DDoS Attacks and Abusive Crawlers

2020-05-15 - Added Phone Number Support to Blocklists   

We now support filing spam complaints on phone numbers in all global regions. This means that you can file complaints and view complaint history for any phone number. This database is shared with major carriers to reduce global robocalls.

2018-04-01 - New SOBL Available - Attack Source   

A new SOBL (Spam.org Block List) has been published, SOBL-ATTACK. This list contains IP addresses which were found to be attacking hosts. Attacks include DDOS attacks, SYNFloods and other attack types as described in the TYPE column. This list can be exported to firewalls to block malicious traffic.
