I sent my report to their abuse-mailbox: <a href="mailto:abuse@cw.com">abuse@cw.com</a> that is listed on their Whois listing. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Instead of a proper response, I received the following error message:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -------------------<o:p></o:p> abuse@cw.com<o:p></o:p> SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:<o:p></o:p> 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<o:p></o:p> -------------------<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> And when I tried to report this error message [not the Spam report] to their network, I received a similar error message from CW:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -----------<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <pre>A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>recipients.
