They are correctly being marked as spam, but I would have expected Cloudmark to learn that they are blatant spam and totally block them.
(I'm wondering if the email problems are because of a deluge of this spam?)

Thanks. I've ploughed through all of the emails in the Deleted Items folder for one of your mailboxes and every single one of them is now identified as spam by Cloudmark. Looks like it's learnt during the past few days.

Although they've all been marked as spam, these represent a far higher number of spam emails getting through to me in the first place. I'd normally reckon on only getting a handful of emails marked as spam per week. These are all of such a consistent pattern that I'd have hoped that after the first day or so they would be totally blocked and hence never passed across to the mailboxes at all.

Looks like it's still learnt though. I tried forwarding one of the emails to a Plusnet hosted account and received an NDR as follows:
This is the Postfix program at host mxout-07.mxes.net.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be
delivered to one or more recipients. Here is the reason why the
message could not be delivered.

If, as was my experience, cloudmark unable to learn because the spamtraining address was rejecting mail sent to it then what happened was inevitable..
It is not the same as IronPort. Everybody has a slightly different picture of spam and mine is that, overall, cloudmark lets 3 or 4 times as many through as did IronPort this far beyond the rollout.

Quote from: jelv Perhaps you need to monitor how long it takes to learn when you are hit by attacks like this, I wonder how much extra load was put on to your servers while it learnt? I don't ever remember getting as many obvious spam emails which were all the same through IronPort.
There's nothing to suggest the emails you saw were anything to do with the recent problems. The load on the MTAs themselves wasn't excessive really and overall volumes were nothing unusual.
Quote from: essexboy The additional monitoring should have been done long, long ago, not just in the middle of an attack.
Monitoring has always been in place and was triggered as it should have been during the recent problems.

What spam training address are you using? Reporting spam is only really worthwhile these days if you're using the spam reporting buttons in the new Webmail interface. The problems were nothing to do with the inability to forward messages to a training address. Cloudmark's logic is based on a myriad of global information that's collected across global email networks.

The old IronPort spam training reports: wouldn't it be an idea to set up auto-responders on those to point people to the new procedures for reporting spam/not spam?

I use spam@spamtraining.plus.com. I do all my plusnet email business via POP3 and have no use at all for webmail.
I do agree that the inability to forward the mail was probably a symptom and not a cause but that has no effect on what your customers are seeing and are interpreting as a reluctance for cloudmark to learn. I have no idea how much those missing thousand or so emails I was unable to report affect the ability of cloudmark to learn but not having them would not have helped in the slightest.
I am not at all happy with your suggestion that my reports are deemed less worthy because I choose to do them via email.

You're wasting your time - that's now just a black hole!
