Folks,

I am a long long time Westnet customer and for the first time ever I am experiencing problems with SPAM.

Since WN swapped from Sophos to Ironport I am getting up to 5 or more SPAMs daily and ALL of them are obvious SPAM (Nigerian pleas, the Paypal one, bank ones and Viagra etc).

I complained to WN and was told that the system did not "recognize" them as spam, something I find a bit hard to accept. I find Ironport hard to use, there is no list that I can find to check what is being blocked and I have no started to miss real emails - without knowing it. I am getting stonewall un-informative responses from WN. Anyone else experiencing this?


Bill

Subject: WARNING .. Paypal phishing email


HI Everyone ,

I received an almost believable email
posing as Paypal to advise of a change of paypal's email address .

It took a bit of direct searching on a real Paypal site to confirm
it was a likely scam.

Redirected email to sp...@paypal.com    and Paypal replied that it is
indeed a phishing attempt .

Be careful out there  !

Bob
