Forwarded Docusign spam to spam@docusign.com gets bounced

Greetings,

I’ve received a couple obvious spam or fraudulent emails purporting to be from Docusign.  As per directions on your website and here, I tried to forward them to spam@docusign.com.

Initially, my outbound mail host bounced it because it looks like spam and refused to forward it on.

I changed my outbound mail routing to skip my outbound host and the mail was accepted initially then returned to me from the mailer daemon on a .pphosted.com address, again because it looks like spam.

Obviously, the message has spammy content in it.

How do we report these fake docusign emails if If Docusign’s inbound mail handling is going to bounce them because they are spammy?

Thanks,

--[Lance]

I ended up saving the fraudulent email, putting it in a zip file with a password (IMPORTANT) and sending the zip file to your abuse email address.

The password on the zip file prevents any system inspecting the emails from identifying the email in the zip file as spam and blocking the message.

​@labrown 

I don’t think they are using that email any longer. The most recent support page (that I could see) is:

https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=yca1573855023892&topicId=uec1690221505200.html&_LANG=enus

it shows how to report abuse from the dropdown on the ‘review and complete’ page.

 

good luck

How do I get to that page if I don’t have an actual document to review? The closest I can get is to this page, which still calls out spam@docusign.com as the reporting method for spammy emails.

They need a web page form or something to get around the anti-spam measures all major email services use on both inbound and outbound messages.

P.S. Tried one more thing. I saved the suspect mail to a file, the zipped the file with a password and sent the zip file with the password in the body of the message to spam@docusign.com.  THAT got through.
