Over the last ten-fourteen days I seem to have had a HUGE increase in spam - even with filters and Norton in play I'm getting over 100 a day.

Has anyone else had this and any ideas what I can do to save the time these are wasting?

Leave the online porn alone

Doesn't your email provider a filter for spam? If so use that

I've also been inundated with fake watch mails..... Viagra and other such penis enhancing potions, lotions and pills...


Who is your internet service provider ? Most of mine are hitting my Pipex account.

Sounds like someone has put your address down somewhere for deliberate spam.
Have you peed someone off?

Im with Pipex and get much of the same, all Pipex have is domain based blocking, keyword filtering does not work... get another ISP.... I am

Up until 4 months ago, I was getting on average 30 spam emails a day, then my ISP started to use a new spam filter called IronPort and we've not had 1 spam email since

when i get home i'll find out how many emails i got in the past 24 horus and how many of them were actual spam

Dont think this is the case as my e-mail is forwarded to a Pipex account so the addresses that everyone knows and uses are just forwarded from a domain.

The SPAM I am getting at the moment is all sent direct to the Pipex account which isnt published anywhere or used in its 'raw' form.

As has been said... time for a new ISP I think


Fookin Spammers I hope they all die horribly in a yatching accident

The ones that especially freak me out are the ones that I seem to have sent myself.

I don't think I've been wandering about in an unconscious state, firing off random shit emails to myself, yet they come in with my email address as the sender - how does that work?
