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).

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
