Just lately my reports to report@phishing@gov.uk have all bounced back with an error message -
Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
report@phishing.gov.uk
(report@phishing.gov.uk)
Your message
wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it.

presumably thats just a miskey in the text given you have two @ signs but in the delivery failure the second is a . as you'd expect.
Probably a temporary glitch, its still the official email to forward them to1 -

I mistyped the address in my first post! Here's a screen shot of an earlier email and my latest to the phishing line, both of which have been rejected.

One thing that can cause the rejection message is if your email is barred for spam.
Who is your email provider?0 -
BT - though these emails are coming into my outlook email account. I've been sending reports for ages and don't normally experience these rejections.PHK said:

Seems to be emails from outlook which are the problem. Just now I forwarded one from my BT email which went through fine.0
