| where has all my Spam gone ??? |
|
Used to get anything between 50 & 70 spam e-mails per day.
However over the last week or so, I'm now getting very few ..
...2 on Mon, 2 on Tue, and so far nil today.
I do run with 'Spamfighter free', but [as far as I'm aware] all this does is segregate them from my good e-mails into another inbox.
So, where has all my Spam gone???? ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I had a similar redunction in the SPAM coming down from my ISP a few weeks back - it's as if they've employed a new filter to quarantine/delete the affending e-mails before they got to my mailboxes (or they'd put a contractor out one the spammer  ) LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

I had heard that some of the big players for this have been shut down, last time they were ripped apart, it took about a week to get set back up again. Bodsys Brake Bible

Definitely longer that a week this time - they must have dismembered them second time round LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Quote:Spam levels plummeted following the mid-November takedown of McColo, which hosted the master control channels for some of the world's biggest and most notorious spam gangs. McColo's ouster came after its upstream providers pulled the plug on their customer following complaints it was a conduit for junk email, phishing, and other types of online crime. Almost overnight, spam volumes dropped by 40 percent or more, by some estimates.
Since then, spam levels have slowly crept upward. In January, web-filtering firm MessageLabs reported that spam volumes were about 80 percent of pre-McColo takedown levels.
Additionally, over the past month Google employees have observed a rise in the amount of spam with malware attached. They've also seen new scams that target recipients by their geographic location.
