Spam ! Spam ! Spam!

Why Is 99% of my inbox full of spam ?  Cry
But it hasn't been moved to the spam folder or recognised as spam.
How do I know if I have moved to postini ? 
I just hope I haven't yet - and all will be fixed when I get moved.
I am fedup of sending email to the spam checkers.. as the "same" emails still keep hitting my email boxes.
SpamFighter in outlook is far superior to the supposedly spam software used by plus.net.  Why is that ?  Huh

Re: Spam ! Spam ! Spam!

Right click the email and choose properties (using outlook) if you see this header info below then your on postini, if not, your not:

X-pstn-neptune: 6/6/1.00/89
X-pstn-levels: (S:99.90000/99.90000 CV:99.9000 R:95.9108 P:95.9108 M:97.0282 C:98.6951 )
X-pstn-settings: 1 (0.1500:0.1500) cv gt3 gt2 gt1 r p m c
X-pstn-addresses: from <barteh@gmail.com> [49/4]
X-PN-VirusFiltered: by PlusNet MXCore (v4.00)

I understand that a substancial amount of customers are now on postini, and the rest will follow. For me it makes a tremendous difference.
I understand theres some issue with it tagging forum emails and subscribed emails but that aside for me its a 101% welcomed change.
give bob a nudge.  Cool

Re: Spam ! Spam ! Spam!

Thanks.
I will check out my outlook headers when I next download at home.
Just checked the headers on webmail ...
and one that is obvious spam has :
X-DSPAM-Result: Innocent
X-DSPAM-Processed: Sun Feb 3 19:15:16 2008
X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.5541
X-DSPAM-Improbability: 1 in 125 chance of being spam
X-DSPAM-Probability: 0.6870
where as an email that is not has :
X-PN-VirusFiltered: by PlusNet MXCore (v4.00)
X-DSPAM-Result: Innocent
X-DSPAM-Processed: Mon Feb 4 10:26:16 2008
X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.9826
X-DSPAM-Improbability: 1 in 5638 chance of being spam
X-DSPAM-Probability: 0.0000
X-DSPAM-Factors: 27,
So it is just the fact the probability threshold - isn't low enough or basically good enough.
From this - it doesn't mention postini - so fingers crossed it will happen sooner rather than later.

Re: Spam ! Spam ! Spam!

You're not on Postini yet. Raise a request here to be added. Chances are you will be moved as part of the planned migrations scheduled for this week anyway though.
