Spam increase?

I only used to get one of two messages a week arriving in my Inbox (as opposed to being filtered off into my Spam box). But, since the installation of the new spam appliances I get at least a dozen obviously-spam messages not being classified correctly every day.
I've raised a ticket to report this to Plus, but they insist there's it's not a trend across customers. I've not done anything to attract more spam to my account, though, so I think it must have affected other people too.

I use the webmail and identify them as spam which it should hopefully then learn. Its annoying as you mark it as spam and it then unticks it so you have to remark them all to delete them.

Quote from: garywood84 Has anyone else noticed an increase in the amount of spam that is not being correctly classified as junk, following the recent problem with email (with the installation of the supposedly-improved spam handing)?

Not using a plus email, but spam has gone up to about 300 emails a week over the last month, with no change in forums used. Fortunately Apple Mail is quite good at sorting the spam, but still need to keep an eye on the emails that are deemed spam. Viagra, Anatram and Canadian Pharmacy seem the mail culprits, Canadian Pharmacy denies responsibility....!

CNN Daily Top Ten.
I gather there are problems blocking this and it is vicious.
I am just using webmail and deleting .
Plusnet may not be able to do anything about it and I am wary of 'solutions' from sources I do not know.

We should have measures in place to make sure these are marked as spam early next week.
