Seems to be an uptick in spam received lately. Doesn't seem that my ISP is on top of it. In the past 48 hours have received at least three dozen spams from similar parties. Many seem to be coming from *.store domains. I haven't knowingly ever visited one of these domains.
I don't think I want to run my own email server - mostly because 1) I really don't know how to set one up, and 2) it sounds like a bit of work to maintain. Of course, I could be wrong, which is why I am asking. I did a whois, and due to privacy cr*p, there's no longer a way to get to the registrants. I can see why this might be, but it does make it harder to report people. I did report a couple of domains as spammers to godaddy, since I *think* they were the registrar. This really doesn't seem kosher to me, since godaddy gets revenue from the spammers. I also reported a domain or two to my ISP. Things have slightly slowed down, but I am not holding my breath. In my wife's case, one or more of her acquaintances (with Windows computers?) have had their accounts compromised or information stolen, and she has been super subscribed to what seems like dozens and dozens of spamming lists. Her spam folder on her phone receives may hundreds of emails a day - it's really out of control. How can we get out of this mess? Anyways, are there any practical ways to get a better handle on this? Looking for some ideas. Thanks for any and all suggestions. I hope this would be a topic of interest to others on this list. If for no other reason to share what worked and what didn't. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
