How to send us email

General Forwarding

• Full headers are not necessary, but if you have already expanded them in your client that is fine. More
• It is not necessary to include any comments or explanations with the junk mail. It is unlikely they will be read. Send any correspondence or comments to contact@knujon.com.
• Avoid using "receipt required" flags or other delivery certificates as it may delay the processing of your email.
• KnujOn will attempt to contact ISPs when users are blocked from forwarding email, but we have little or no control over the outcome. If they say "no" there is nothing more we can do.

   Cut and paste this script into the edit window between the "Sub KnujonReporting()" and "End Sub" lines
   

   Sub KnujonReporting() On Error GoTo KProc_err Dim ns As NameSpace Dim InBox As MAPIFolder ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '"junk" is used as an example, use 'any name you want as long as the folder name 'matches the subfolder name below ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' subFolder = "junk" Dim Item As Object Dim Atmt As Attachment Dim myForward As Object Dim i As Integer Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI") Set InBox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) Set subFolder = InBox.Folders(subFolder) i = 0 ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'The "myForward.To" value used here is the open address 'if you are a knujon member be sure to change this with 'your personal reporting address ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' If subFolder.Items.Count > 0 Then For Each Item In subFolder.Items Set myForward = Item.Forward myForward.To = "knujon@coldrain.net" myForward.Send i = i + 1 Next Item End If KProc_exit: Set Atmt = Nothing Set Item = Nothing Set ns = Nothing Set myForward = Nothing Exit Sub KProc_err: MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description End Sub

   
   Be sure to set subFolder to "junk" (or the name of your junk folder), and myForward.To to your personal Knujon coldrain.net address if you are a member.

• only forwards messages marked as unread (to avoid sending dupes)
• marks messages as read after forwarding

New! GMAIL IMAP Advanced Options
One thing Google has really done a good job of is implementing a few unique features into Gmail that other mainstream email services don’t offer. To give you an example, IMAP support. Of course some services do offer it, but many, especially those that are free, do not. Not only does Google offer IMAP support for free, they recently “Turbo Charged” it and have gone above and beyond what many ever expected them to do when they requested such a feature. To access these advanced IMAP features, you’ll first have to enable “Advanced IMAP Controls” from the Labs section in Gmail. This is the same place you may have gone to enable those Google Goggles we talked about the other day. Once it is enabled, you’ll be able to go to your settings and configure everything the way you would like it to be. (cybernetnews.com)

From the team that brought you Mail Goggles, here comes...Advanced IMAP Controls, a Labs feature that lets you fine-tune your Gmail IMAP experience. You can choose which labels to sync in IMAP -- useful if you find your mail client choking on a big [Gmail]/All Mail folder. After enabling this Lab, just go to the Labels tab under Settings. You'll see a new 'Show in IMAP' checkbox next to each of your labels. Uncheck the box and the corresponding folder will disappear from IMAP. (gmailblog.blogspot.com)

Registered Members vs. Non-Registered

We do not look at headers or trace IP origin on a large scale, but in select cases. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, we are fully aware that services like SpamCop are already doing this job and doing it well. We encourage everyone to use many services to fight this problem on multiple levels. In the future we may work with other services to provide 100% protection. However, for the moment we are focused on our own model which is not so much on the junk mail traffic (ISP abuse, botnets, zombies) but more on the fraud and illegal activity going on behind the scenes. Reduction in junk mail is a byproduct of that effort. This is not to say we are not concerned with botnets and zombies, we are and as time permits we research that as well. So, if KnujOn users send full headers along, we use them. But we are not requesting or requiring that people do send the headers.

Terms of Use for forwarding email. KnujOn assumes that all email forwarded is true Unsolicited Commercial Email(UCE) and/or Unsolicited Bulk Email(UBE), junk e-mail, and "spam" and accepts it in good faith. Newsletters and commercial notices that you have signed up for are not UCE/UBE and it is your responsibility to unsubscribe from them before forwarding the email to KnujOn. Email forwarded to KnujOn becomes the property of KnujOn.com and Coldrain.net. Any item may be reported to U.S. and International Law Enforcement as well as private fraud investigators, Internet Service Providers, and other anti-spam services. In each case this would be handled with the assumption that you are a victim of spam and not a participant in electronic fraud or Internet crime. KnujOn has no control over how ISPs or email clients handle forwarding of email. Email traffic rejections by ISPs and/or troubleshooting of email client configuration is not the responsibility of KnujOn. While we provide tips and information, this is done as a courtesy. In submitting Email to Knujon.com you agree to the terms above.
