Sudden decrease in spam?

[Kevin Slater]

I'm totally confused. I've been getting maybe 400 or so spam emails a day, mostly with the same dozen or so messages, the vast majority of which ended up in my self-designed spam filter. (I find if I use yahoo's spam filter I inevitably end up missing an important message or two, so I use the filter tool to weed out viagra, diploma, dear customer, etc. It works pretty well except that for some reason every email with an attachment goes into that filter as well.) Anyway, in the last two days the filter is bone dry. Have they finally decided what I've always known: my dick is big enough and I'm perfectly well educated? I sent myself a few emails with viagra and the like in the body and they made it to the filter, but no anonymous spam to be found. Is it possible to simply drop off the spammers lists? This isn't a complaint mind you, I'm just curious, and want to be sure I'm not missing legit email as well.

Check with your email provider to see what they changed. The spam is certainly still flowing.

 

This could be a sign that they installed something new and (for example) disabled the catch-all account for your domain, which could be very very bad if you're *relying* on the catch-all account.

 

Worth a follow up call just to make sure. If spam isn't getting through, chances are good other stuff isn't as well.

I'm still trying to figure out why I receive SPAM on breast augmentation. Must be that late night internet surfing...
