Hi,
On Monday evening (19.20) one of my Freeola email accounts started receiving loads of spam type failures mostly from .ru domains.
'Undeliverable mail' 'Blocked by bulk email' 'Delivery status notification failure' etc. etc.
By Tuesday morning I had received around 500 of these. As the email account is pretty dormant I was able to delete it. The idea being that I could re-introduce it in a few weeks to see if the 'attack' had passed.
But today I've been contacted by another Freeola customer I look after and they too are seeing the same problem.
Neither of these email addresses are displayed on a website, so they haven't been 'harvested' in the normal way.
I have dozens of accounts and I only know of two so far that have this problem. I thought I would post here to make Freeola (and others) aware.
I have had a couple of emails (to my other accounts) delayed (by 3 days in one case) so I guess it's possible the Freeola mail servers are under some pressure?

Thanks Eccles,
email on it's way...
NB. Where the 'bounced' emails contain the original text it seems this text is being spammed a lot:
"60% Off All Luxury Designer Shoes & Boots Men & Women Gucci Prada Chanel"
Google shows others are seeing similar problems with this text and spoofed reply addresses.
Thanks...

Hello,
If possible could you forward one of the spam emails, with the full headers intact, to webmaster at freeola dot com for attention of Eccles so that I can see if there is anything that can be done about this.
Thanks.
