I have really been inundated with, you've guessed it - spam over the last few days. all kinds including ones with viruses attached. to various freeola email addresses. can't think why it's suddenly happening. anyone else experiencing a similar glut?

Thanks Numnut.
Forwarding from one of my standard domains to an EmailPro one still isn't working for me?
I've just setup a Freeola500 account forwarding to my EmailPro account and that doesn't work either?
I'll raise a ticket (edit184060).
Very strangeor I've lost the plot!
Update: Freeola have replied saying they can't see why this is happening and are investigating further.
Update2: Freeola have 'tidied up' a few bits on my EmailPro account and forwarding is now working fine :¬)

I've not tried anything with blacklisting or changing spam controls, just a basic test;
I set forwarding on a standard address to forward to both another standard address and an emailpro address and the message was successfully forwarded to both addresses within a minute or so.
Looks like forwarding is working ok from here...are you still having problems hmmm?

I'm testing this now...

I appreciate email isn't always immediate so tried a test to another normal and pro address - both came through fine
Was this using forwarding, or just sending a 'test' email to each address?
Tied another normal account forwarding to EmailPro - same results?
Just to confirm, I read 'same results' as "it still didn't work" - is that right?

One of my clients wants to upgrade to EmailPro (they are already on Freeola ADSL so will be free for one domain).
They also use some Freeola500 addresses so I thought I would test (using my own setup) how forwarding with blacklisting works in practice.
But I didn't get very far :¬(
I picked one of my normally hosted non-EmailPro accounts and put forwarding in place to one of my EmailPro addresses.
i.e. [email protected] > me@emailprodomain.com
Before playing with blacklisting I tried a test email - nothing?
Checked my EmailPro SPAM folder in webmail - nothing.
I appreciate email isn't always immediate so tried a test to another normal and pro address - both came through fine.
Removed forwarding - another test email appeared immediately. Put fowarding back in place - nothing again?!
Tied another normal account forwarding to EmailPro - same results?
I guess it's possible that I made a typo but I've checked things.
If Freeola and/or another customer could take the time to check this it would be appreciated before I raise a Support Ticket.
Any questions please shout.

With EmailPro, it's £2 per month plus VAT for the first domain name, then £1 per month plus VAT for any additional domains, so 5 domains would only equate to £6 per month plus VAT.[/i]
@dean5
this is very reasonable I agree and I will explore.
however I would also like to know is there some package like for example an upgrade to email-pro / VIP / SSL security in general for an account which caps this cost for all domains for the future
If I then decide I need VIP / email-pro / ssl security on individual domains at a later date I can see the monthly cost stacking up (and that's not including my line rental/landline/mobile phone bills!)

Overnight spam situation much improved for me :¬)
Over the last few days I'd been waking to around 20 or so from 'Euro Dice' or similar and this morning just the one from Euro Dice.
Unless the spammers only work weekdays! ;¬)
It would be nice to know if Freeola have implemented any changes or if it was just the providers stamping on the spammers.

That's great Dean, cheers. Like I said earlier things seem a lot better today so hopefully this will continue. If this problem returns, think I'll go this route.
Don't forget pete, you can have an email address from my domain if needed :¬)
