@David,

Also make sure that *all* the emails are going through Postini. We moved some customers earlier this week and it can take 7 days before email taking the old route is blocked:-

Hi David,

Are these messages being tagged as [-SPAM-]? What options do you have selected in the Manage My Mail tool?

According to my email headers my account has been tranferred to Postini - I am receiving as much if not more SPAM as ever (around 30 per day) despite having implemented months ago all the anti-spam steps advised by Plusnet. Very disapponting and not good enough.

Brilliant - my spam had peaked at over 200 a day, a real pain when you have to download all of those in a hotel somewhere so you can get to the few emails that you actually want. Since mid-January I'm down to below six a day, which is tolerable/

Great improvement, thanks. I'm down from over 30 per day to one every other day. Would you like to receive copies of spams that are still getting through, together with their internet headers, to improve the Postini filtering?

I have found this very good ,Spam is now down to NIL from 30 per day a few weeks ago.
