Who let the dogs out?!?!


 

Just an observation.

I know the amount of spam varies month to month, but wow, this month had a vast increase. I just deleted about 150 spam emails in October on my Apple email account, caught in the Junk folder. The filters are working fine. My usual haul is 0-10, and an occasional 20.

About 25 were from a canceled account from a publisher for two professional magazines I cancel over 10 years ago. They decided that I wanted to start it up again. I guess someone got a new marketing vp or consultant.

Can anyone guess at how the filters caught a legitimate business, sending legitimate emails, if I had re-subscribed?

I just checked, I don¡¯t have a listing in my Contacts for them or their various business names.

Either way, I haven¡¯t seen this much spam in many years.

I don¡¯t really know, but I do recall someone associated with a provider saying that the service might mark a message as spam if the same message had appeared on the server addressed to a very large number of other email addresses. ?There is also the possibility that the originating IP address or server name is associated with previous spam that generated complaints. ?

Since it was apparently a new subscription drive, sent with a no reply e-ddress. I looked up the their regular contact e-ddress and complained, suggesting the fire which ever it was a new marketing vp or new marketing consultant.?
