The gspamcop script at http://www.submanifold.be/triade/misc/gknujon/gknujon.html suddenly stopped working. When I am reporting my gmail's spam emails, it is giving the follwing errors.

I currently have 71 spam mails in my Inbox and the script stops after reading 34 emails leaving 37 unread spam emails.

$python gspamcop.py -l uname@gmail.com -p password -r xxxxxx@coldrain.net -rsc quick.randomcode@spam.spamcop.net

Login successful

Any ideas?

I don’t use it, so I don’t know much about it. Here is how I proceed when something suddenly stops working. I check my system for malware. Have you done that? You may also want to check for other recent changes on your system. That may sound simplistic, but it has worked for me in the past.

<BTW> If that doesn't resolve the issue, get back to us and maybe someone else can help you.

there 's a spam message giving trouble, delete the last read spam message manually, my guess is that's the one giving the trouble, then rerun the script, it should work fine then, I don't know why it happens, but it does.
