Re: How to report FN on HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI
Thank you for taking the time to report this. We've audited this
sender; they are a social network, where users can communicate within a
network or users inviting friends to join a forum. The sender also
implemented Captcha as part of the registration. We are working to find
out more of the how they've acquired a spamtrap address. We will provide
an update as we conclude this investigation.
Kind regards,
Eloise Carlton

The Captcha used by several large email providers have been broken
and that has led to an increase in the amount of spam originating
from their networks. You might wish to take that into account in
your recommendations.

We are working with the sender and providing recommendations to secure
and monitor account users (such as using captcha to prevent bots from
registering and setting rate limits on the user level). Currently there
is no historical data on abuse from this particular user, they have
flagged this account and another report will result in immediate
deactivation. If there is another observation on abuse please send it to
us.
Kind regards,

Mailing-Lists also can be abused (try to subscribe with a forged address).
the question is
- can the abuser put his text or url inside the message? If so, the site
should run the text and url through a spam filter.
- can abusers send a lot of mail? If so, the site should implement "rate
limiting"...
- can robots subscribe? If so, site should fix this.

Yes but the invite option may be abused. Like yahoo calendar invites are
abused to send spam
