I report the spam I get to the company that delivered it, and most of them don't do anything about it.

What this is
I run a small business, and since November 2025 I've kept every unsolicited sales email I've gotten, which is 504 of them so far. For each one, I pull the headers, figure out which company actually delivered it, and send that company an abuse report with the evidence.
Every one of these companies has a written policy against spam, so this site is a record of what they actually do when somebody hands them proof.
Who delivers it
Every email gets sent through somebody's servers, and here's whose servers sent mine:
Salesforce225
Microsoft 365 / Outlook59
AWS (other servers)45
Gmail41
Google Workspace22
Amazon SES11
SparkPost / EmailOctopus11
Twilio SendGrid9
Sender.net7
Everything else (hosting companies, small providers)74
Spam I received, by the company whose servers delivered it.
Credit where it's due. These companies sent back a real answer from a real person and said that they acted:
Realtime RegisterOctober 2026. Suspended 30 domains that the sender had registered through them (the one I reported and 29 siblings). Their whole reply was "Domain(s) suspended," the list, and links to the evidence, which is exactly how it should be done.
BrevoSeptember 2026. Suspended the sender's account after investigating.
Sender.netJuly 2026. Suspended every account the sender was using, which turned out to be several that had been set up under different names.
OrangeHostMarch 2026. Suspended the email account that sent it.
Twilio SendGridMarch and April 2026. Said they'd identified the sender and were taking action.
Upland (Adestra)June 2026. Opened an investigation into their client.
KitJuly 2026. Said they were investigating the sender.
HetznerMay 2026. Told their customer about the report and asked them for a statement.
That's what an abuse desk is supposed to do, and some of these are pretty small companies, so it's not like it's a hard thing to do.
Who didn't
SalesforceThe biggest source by far, with 225 spam emails and 167 case numbers, and 6 times where somebody told me they did anything. The rest got an automatic reply, or a request for more information and then nothing.
Amazon Web ServicesHosts Salesforce's mail servers. I've sent them at least 45 reports about the Salesforce mail alone, and mostly they told me to go report it to Salesforce. They did send a few "mitigated" form notices, but never told me that they stopped a sender, and the mail kept coming.
GoogleSeven identical replies telling me to fill out a form.
MicrosoftNine automated acknowledgments.
Namecheap and GoDaddyReceipts and auto-replies.
CloudflareReport ID numbers.
HubSpot, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and EmailOctopusReceipts, and nothing after.
OVHTicket receipts. One ticket was marked "resolved" without saying what was done.
As of September 2026. If any of them come back and act, I'll move them up.
Guides
If you're getting this kind of spam too, these will show you how to find out who delivered it and report it where it counts:
These names keep coming back through whatever provider will carry them, so each one has a page that lists every email, with the dates, domains and subject lines:
