I try to report all phishing e-mails to Cox and the organization the e-mail is spoofing, e.g., Navy Federal Credit Union (of which I am NOT even a member). I send Cox to phishingreport@cox.net and for the spoofed organization I use the address shown on their web page, e.g., phishalert@navyfederal.org.
I always try to send the offending e-mail as an attachment and paste the headers in the body of my original e-mail, identified as such. My outgoing e-mail to Cox, et. al. is normally about 14 kb, but I get a response similar to the following nonsense response from Cox through an error message on my mail program (Windows Live Mail, using Windows 8.1):
"This message could not be sent because its size exceeded the server's limit. You can use the option, located in Tools | Accounts | Properties | Advanced, to break messages into smaller parts.
Subject 'Phishing Email received Fw: Your Have Two New Security Message From Navy Federal'
Server Error: 552
Server Response: 552 5.2.0 kLkW1q0030sfaii01LkW24 This message was undeliverable. This message has been found to be a potential spam message, and has therefore been blocked. Please visit http://ww2.cox.com/coxagainstspam for more information.

How can I report phishing e-mail if you block it from being sent to the applicable security folks.? The message is NOT too large! Please provide me guidance.
Thanks.
