HOWTO: Report Spam for iCloud Users

HOWTOs Random

Recently I started getting some Russian match.com (lovely) spam that just kept on coming. I got so tired of it – I decided to take a minute to see how I could properly report this as spam without getting a ton of other similar messages. Turns out – if you are an iCloud user – you just need to do the following:

In OS X Mail

  1. When viewing the message, choose Forward as Attachment from the Message menu.
  2. Send the message to spam@icloud.com.
  3. Also send the message to the abuse@domain address, replacing “domain address” with the domain the spam was sent from. For example, if the message came from spammydomain.com, you would send the message to abuse@spammydomain.com.

Hopefully this will help someone else with the same issue.
