ob1db Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Is it just me? I have had a steady diet of 40-50 spams a day, give or take, for years. The last month or so I notice that I need to Quick Report at least double that, sometimes TRIPLE! (This is on my SpamCop filtered account). SpamCop is catching most of them in my held mail, but it is getting annoying. I Googled the topic but see no comments generally on the NET about a spam upsurge. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yep, definite upswing despite my ISP's valiant efforts to cocoon me from the brutish world outside . I'm seeing an increase in bulletin-board spammer links to exploit sites too. Presumably that means more zombies down the track and hence more attacks on anti-spamming activies and more spam to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpamCop is catching most of them in my held mail, but it is getting annoying. Are you looking at the headers of these messages to see why? Often, this is due to an address being whitelisted. OOPs. sorry, just noticed the SpamCop is catching them line. Nevermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not appear to be a Reporting problem/issue. Moving to the Lounge area .... debating about merging it into one one the numerous existing Topics addressing the same question/issue.

cimmerian Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just curious ob1db.... Any of this increase due to spamvertized blogspot spam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Betsy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Has anyone reading this thread seen the other recent thread where someone is amazed at getting very much reduced spam? Miss Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
