Hey!

[e-mail] received this email earlier today. Is that something you can take care of?

TO: Webmaster / Technical / Abuse Team

Hello, I am Daniel with the Spam Cop organization. I help out specifically with web spam. One of your clients has been detected as hosting large amounts of spam.

The URL of your client: http://blog.mozilla.org/dmandelin/2010/01/14/tracemonkeyfx36-hacks/

The reason that this URL has been has been flagged is because of the outgoing URL's. If you scroll below on the page you will see that this webpage links to some websites that are already flagged as suspicious, spam related or malicious.

The easiest way to resolve this is to do a full removal of the comments on this webpage. Failure to do so may result in the IP of this specific domain, and/or the subnet being blacklisted on Spam Cop and third party databases.

If you have any questions and/or you have resolved this issue, you can reply directly to this e-mail and I will take manual action to make sure that it is resolved on our side as well.

Thank you for taking the time to address this issue.

Thanks

This just needs us to clean up the backlog of spam. There's no *new* comments on that post.

All comments that clearly had SEO-gaming titles or URLs were deleted.
