Email phishing from zero to deluge

[#1]

I've used Plusnet email for over 20 years and had almost zero spam or phishing.

My Plusnet spam settings have, for as many years as I can remember, been as follows ...

Spam filtering = Yes

Discard Obvious spam = Off

Aggressiveness of spam filter = 1

Since about the beginning of November, we have had multiple phishing emails every day.

I have since changed ...

Discard Obvious spam = On      

and gradually ramped up the Aggressiveness.  It's now on 4

None of these changes make any noticeable difference.

Are we to be condemned to the next 20 years of Greenby like this ?

Does Greenby have ANY spam of phishing filtering ?

Are they expecting we users to put up with this ?   Or are they expecting us to jump ship ?

Is Plusnet expecting us to jump ship ?

Do either or both want users to jump ship ?

Any genuine official information from either Plusnet or Greenby or both would be welcome

so we can all have a happy new year ...

We have the same deluge of super obvious spam messages.

The Plusnet email spam detection have become non functional.
Even the worst of spam is not detected / flagged in any way.

The spam portal at : https://www.plus.net/manage_my_mail/  has been out of action for some months.

This looks like when we move to GreenBy we may not have spam detection.
It could be a brief subscription if that is the case.

I started getting quite a few spam emails over a month ago for almost the first time ever on Plusnet. It's easing off now but my wife has started getting half a dozen daily, some with viruses. Fortunately Norton is picking those up but its very concerning. My suspicion was that it is to do with Plusnet wanting to get rid of their email responsibilities.  Could I be right?

@wincle    It looks like Plusnet have handed over control of my email (at least to some extent) even though I've not yet been migrated to Greenby servers.

I would like to think that when my email actually gets onto a Greenby server, they will have some proper spam protection ... just like a proper email services company.

In the meantime, like you, I'm dependent on Norton to weed out the viruses, but I'd rather not receive any of the junk.

I don't want to receive it and I don't want to have to forward it all to   report@phishing.gov.uk

Whether or not all the reports I've sent has changed anything so far, I can't tell.
