OK this ought to be good news  Cool
On my home account the mailbox that was getting spammed to the point of uselessness is now staying empty...
Have Plusnet made some kind of configuration change recently?

Re: Where has the spam gone?

Is postini actually "live" then? I don't think I joined a trial.
If so then why on some accounts and not others?

Re: Where has the spam gone?

Many people on the Forum have stopped referring to it as a trial since most if not all customers were migrated onto it.
Some DNS changes took longer to propagate worldwide particularly hosted domains.

Yes, customers are being moved to postini in batches, so some will only just have started.

Thanks for the info Chris.
I'm fairly well read but Webster's Revised Unabridged is not on my bathroom bookshelf.

Re: Where has the spam gone?

I just thought I'd mention that since having been moved to postini a few days ago the spam  has ground to a halt.
Makes a nice change not having to keep deleting all those ads for viagra and watches... Smiley

Re: Where has the spam gone?

Same here. What a relief. Seems to be working very well. How do I check bona fide mail isn't being filtered out though? I believe it can be done but don't know how.
