From: "Peter MacGregor"
For the past ten days or so I have been inundated with messages telling me
emails I have supposedly sent cannot be delivered. These come from two
sources - some claim I'm trying to email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' where xxx is a
different name every time name and the rest refer to names with a Spanish
address.
I have never done business in either country and have checked carefully -
there is no address in either country in my address book nor does anyone I
know have a t-mobile address. (For our US friends T-mobile is major
Cell-phone provider in Europe)
I've checked my machine - every Windows patch is up to date, as is my
Anti-Virus (AVG Paid For version) Firewall (Zone Alarm Paid for version).
I've done everyting I can think of - scanned for spam, viruses, the lot
but still they come. Problem is I'm not talking half a dozen - today (so
far and it's only tea-time here) I've had almost 500! Yesterday it topped
off at 834!!
Help - any ideas anyone? I'm almost afraid to try and download emails now
as I know I'll get another load.
Thanks
Peter MacGregor
Peter,
At that level it's a serious problem, which you know. I have found (my
spam is mostly on an address that now has little of import) that
blacklisting has been working well *since* I *stopped* bouncing.
But can't you set up a rule to divert all mails with those sources into an
easily deleted folder?
Longer term a new main mail box is the best, of course. Sounds like a case
for SpamCop too...
