Sorry it's always me...;¬)


Any other Freeola users noticed an increase in SPAM recently?

We've just had a pretty good run of low levels of SPAM, but for the large range of domain/emails I look after I can see a recent increase.


If there's anything Freeola can check/update it would be appreciated.

Am I right in thinking SPAM email samples sent as attachments via Outlook are still no use to you?


Thanks.

As per my last updates my Freeola spam situation is very good at the moment - and I monitor a lot of accounts.

The last batch was the gobbledegook with the .rtf attachments that others were also seeing and stopped about a week ago.

From LukeM's comments it sounds as if wasn't due to Freeola's actions which is a shame as I was hoping my abuse@ emails were of use.

Is your spam from normal incoming email or from 'form' submissions?

This IP address 213.239.200.199 (from a German ISP) has recently been doing the rounds on my domains form-to-mail pages. I wouldn't normally publish an IP address but Google shows it to be used my a known spammer!

This submits similar junk along with pure junk links similar to your example.

For me this this stopped on the 22nd :¬)
If it didn't I was just about to update my .htaccess to deny it!
