Spam increase

When you moved to postini my spam dropped to a few a week. I don't know what's changed recently, but I'm back to a dozen or more per day. The spam\not spam buttons only work for one message at a time (and sometimes you have to press twice)
All small fry in the scheme of things, but irritating
I now get far less spam from my Yahoo account than my Plusnet email. Amazing

Re: Spam increase

After several weeks with just the occasional spam message I now get several a day, normally flagged by Postini as spam though some are missed by PlusNet's current scoring rules.
So I guess the spammers are now better at evading blatant spam (edge) blocking.

Re: Spam increase


Just checked one of my heavily SPAM laden accounts, I delete the content of inbox.spam regularly so I only have 16 message in there at the moment, there were 5 messages from 'VIAGRA ® Official Site', only one message was not put into inbox.spam. So it is mostly working!

Re: Spam increase

Are you using Postini quarantine? - if not I'd like to see the headers of the one that got through.

Re: Spam increase

I can't see any reason why the PN systems should have failed to add the X-pn-pstn: Spam 1 header. One for Bob to look at I think.

We had a problem with the spam training address earlier in the week that may have resulted in a few bounces like this.
@godsell4, I concur with jelv, I can see no reason why the first email did not have the relevant headers added to it. Perhaps you can PM me the full message headers/content?

Re: Spam increase

Got another one I think.
The common thing in the headers are the reference to pih-sunmxcore09.plus.net as the server that delivered it.


Bob, just sent you another PM to look at a different mailbox that has four of these delivered to inbox.

Can you PM me the full headers again or give me an indication as to what the subject line and delivery date is (presuming you've moved it to your Spam folder now)
