"email spam"

I have been getting a lot of spam from "santander" / "northern rock" / "alliance & leicester" asking me to resolve issues on my account etc. obviously spam.phish as I don't have accounts with same. I only mention it because it has increased in the last few days. I understand it's impossible to cut out all these bleeping bleepers but I wanted to see how others were faring in this respect. I am forwarding to abuse, but I'm guessing they're subtly changing something to enable them to slip through the net again and again.

I am using thunderbird as my email client with the standard adaptive junk mail filters. Can anyone suggest a plug-in that might improve this

also freeola - do you block email by ip address when you receive an abuse report email?

Hi Hmmmmm

Thanks for the welcome
Order placed and my ADSL migrates in next Thursday.

Its good to hear that they run greylisting, maybe the particular spammers are getting wise.

If they are using legit SMTP via compromised systems then yes it won't help.
