No CNN spam using Internode ISP. I've not changed their default spam  
settings so most likely they are on the ball.

Good luck

It helps if you go Mail preferences - Rules
setup a rule and keep modifying it until you have enough data in the  
rule

to shift the spam to the spam box .

Re: Spam bombardment

[Barb Zahari]

I think it's *your* email address, not Westnet per se.

I don't actually use my old IT email address but it's still running so 
I can pick up the odd stragglers who haven't  got my Westnet email 
address yet.
The old IT address started getting massive amounts of spam before I 
changed to Westnet & is now getting 60 or more spam emails a day 
(including the CNN one).


My Westnet email address so far gets NO spam at all, & I haven't paid 
for their spam filtering service.

Re: Spam bombardment

Hi guys

yep Im getting heaps out here in the timor sea through Westnet. I
actually quizzed them this morning and they dont actually do anything
unless you notify them of which ones to filter via your email client
and it goes to labs.sophos.com, what ever that is! 
Apparently they are bringing in a new email system very soon and I
assume better filtering. And you are right it costs to filter

regards

chris

I've had a few marked in that way.  Nothing like the quantities your
