"spam, spam eggs and spam"

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?

Can only say, not me That will be the kiss of death now :¬) Since I recently moved to EmailPro from Email Freedom the amount has dropped dramatically ... and I have a few addresses.

interesting - can anyone else that has moved to emailpro confirm this?

@freeola people - would it make a difference if I moved to emailpro? do I have to pay for each address or is it one amount for all my email addresses

Hi webcity1,
Yes, me too! :¬( I didn't want to be the first to say, as always...

I'm seeing it over a range of Freeola accounts so guessed others would be seeing it.

As DL says my EmailPro accounts aren't getting hit.

Can Freeola check to see if their greylisting filters etc. are still working? If you (Freeola) want samples please say.

I see some of the spammers are also spoofing the 'from' address to my Freeola ones which isn't good!

All I will add is that I should be alright for fake Rolex watches for the foreseeable....

But yeah, getting them as well (not all accounts though?).

EDIT: Also had one with a virus earlier today, ESET zapped it.

But what are you using pete ... Pro or Freedom?

Think it must be the standard one DL, just had a quick peek in my Freeola settings and can't seem to find any mention that I'm a pro-emailer (could be wrong though). Just had another spamtastic mail through from Rudy Rios from dirtythird.com, I'll be honest that one did take some explaining to the Mrs! :)

Haha :¬D

But on a more serious note...and to hide your 'nefarious email activity', when you view/edit email addresses within MyFreeola are you a red star or a yellow star? Red is Pro and Yellow is well, Freedom!

At the bottom of your email addresses list is a key

Around 20 spams from 'Euro Dice' overnight:

Win big with incredible free welcome bonus at Festival Club Casino!

They've been sent to both my registered domains and some free IP3 one's I use from Freeola. A client has also just asked me if anything can be done as they are also seeing these 'Euro Dice' emails.

I'll forward some samples to abuse@ freeola

This all seemed to have started (for many Freeola accounts) a few days ago - could Freeola please comment so we know you are aware of this?

Thanks.

Hello,

Commenting here. I'm aware of this now and I'll make sure the Support guys are. Thanks for forwarding the emails Hmmm, I'm sure they'll be useful. Having just checked, Gerylisting is still there (it puts a link in the mail header) but I can't say whether it's working as it should yet, this will need to be looked into.
