Just thought I'd mention it.

Evenin pete, was just waiting to see if anyone else had noticed the increase during the last few days...spam of all types but the most noticeable ones are links to 'questionable images' :¬) and all seem to carry an ad for Yahoo Mail being spam free :¬D

Hi DL,I keep getting one in particular which appears to have been sent by myself ?,I'm receiving that one 3/4 times a day.Situation hasn't been too bad for me recently but I am experiencing a lot more than usual at the moment.It would appear as though I'm not alone then ?.

Hi you two.
It's normally me that starts the spam posts - what's going on? ;¬)


FWIW - it sounds like this might be 'normal' spam you're are seeing. You both seem to be seeing different flavours and from the large number of accounts I see I'm not getting the same as you.

In the past when something is targeting Freeola accounts then we normally all see the same thing across a whole range of accounts/domains.

Over the last weeks I was seeing lots of 'Viagra' spam messages all written in the same format over a range of Freeola accounts - but none this morning (so far).

Whenever this topic pops up I swear my mail accounts stop receiving any spam at all >_< Literally none over Xmas.

I'll pass these issues on, but standard protocol applies. Forward mail and headers to the usual address.

Just checked my emails and no spam to be seen.If they start coming through again I'll forward them on.

Evenin Hmmm...sorry to 'steal your thunder' :¬) Can agree that the form of this batch of spam is as you mention plus those with the 'questionable images' link.

No spam at all this morning :)

I've had a few 'Viagra' spam emails this morning across a couple of different domains.

Rather worryingly the 'from' address is showing as the same as the 'to' address - i.e. My Freeola domains!

I've attached a couple of samples and sent them to abuse@

When i sent a couple of examples of spam to the abuse@ address they got bounced with a 'no such address' type response.

Can you confirm the address?

thanks
