Anyone noticed an increase in their spam folders lately?
A lot of US scams targeting the UK, trying to sell gas and electricity turning up in mine.

Sorry about that, I thought you'd be interested. Can I assume you clicked the 'grow a 12 inch penis' advert by accident then?Originally posted by cojak View PostWhat happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
I used to get loads of spam, having had the same address for a decade, then I moved this exact same address to a Exchange server on an OVH leased server.
What Exchange did, was rather than accepting the e-mail and then deciding it was spam. It would decide the e-mail was spam during receipt, and refuse to complete the e-mail transfer process. It kept a daily file showing e-mail received / rejected. This started off as about a 100k log file, then over the weeks this gradually went 90k, 80k, 70k and so on, till it went down to about 10k which was mostly all e-mail I wanted. I now have moved back to the original cheap pop3 e-mail via my webhosting company and I still get hardly any spam.
Spammers want to send out a million e-mail, then dont want to connect to a server that takes it time and then rejects the e-mail. Might as well concentrate on easier prey.Last edited by escapeUK; 27 July 2012, 07:09.Comment
