On Jan 1 I put in some more IPs and domains to be blocked due to spamming. Since then, I've gotten 63 spam messages that have gotten through (i.e. from unblocked domains or IPs). Even the lists which are secured with subject scanners and the like have been hit by 3 spam messages (I removed them). Have others noticed an increase in the level of spam in the last week or is it just that spammers like me?
I'm going to try something new in the coming weeks. When I report a spam attack, I'm going to create a mail account for the spam message and use that as the FROM address for the abuse email. This will tell me if the abuse report is just being used as a "yes, he's alive" for the spammers or not. If it just gets a reply, then no prob but if I start getting spam on it, banned! (Yes, I know I can just join a RBH or the like but I can only trust myself when it comes to the lists. I have to be sure that the address IS a spammer, not trust others to tell me that it is.)
