-pops- Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm being deluged with spam today - anyone else having a bigger problem than usual?Even though I am on BT and use their spam trap, ePrompter picked up 150 emails this morning, only two of them legit. The BT spam trap seems to still be catching plenty of this scourge to humanity so have the spammers found a way of circumventing the BT spamtrap?

expertec Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 No spam for me, but I don't often get any anyway and I am not on BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 yes, -pops-, I got a heap this morning through bt. I thought perhaps that their filter had failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Thank goodness it's not just me.I think you're right about the failure of the filter. I've just checked it and my ePrompter is cartching more than the BT filter. I'll have a word with them (!?!?!?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 No more than normal on my 'spam' account. Thankfully have ended up with one account that only gets spam and several that get real emails. One of the lucky ones I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 None whatsoever since changing my e-mail address several months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 None whatsoever since changing my e-mail address several months ago.I am very reluctantly coming to the view that I will have to do the same.I don't see why I should have to though, and it will cause me considerable inconvenience as I use the address for business as well as personal use.I am convinced that the BT filter is out of order though now as I'm getting more spam through than the filter is stopping. Thank goodness for ePrompter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I am with msn and i changed my email about a year ago after getting piles of spam and im getting spamed again on my newest account and im thinking about changing it again :(.Change it to something which does not make sense. If it includes a name, it is easy for an auto dialler to happen onto it. Mine was keith.jones5@***. Obviously there are loads of Keith Joneses in the world, but no one with the name that I use now, it is unpronounceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Back to normal now, I think.I emailed their spam department but had no reply (surprise, surprise) but after about 50 during the night and none in the spam catcher, it is now running with none getting through and 17 in the catcher.
