I get loads of spam, as my email address exists for over 16 years already.

So I=E2=80=99m using mailwasher for over a decade, which enables easy spam =
filtering.

http://www.mailwasher.net/ 

Works easy.

Cheers,

Has anyone else on the MG list recently been plagued by spam--much originat=

uch garbage?  As I=E2=80=99ve been getting this stuff on the 2 email addres=

I haven=E2=80=99t seen any spam as described. But since I was a former =
system/email administrator, perhaps I can shed a bit of light on this. =
Email addresses can be harvested through address books or even off the =
Internet. Programs can scan websites to pick up anything matching an =
email address format. The past several years, one of the commonest =
methods was/is to collect some email addresses and then email those =
users and ask for their account login information. It will be under the =
pretense of a security change or email quota exceeded or some other =
misleading excuse =E2=80=93 and it works as people frequently respond =
with their username and password. Then with that information, the hacker =
can login to that email account and harvest more email addresses plus =
they can use that account and that account=E2=80=99s mail server to send =
out more emails asking for email account logins or to sell something or =
to send out malware.

Until I took a new job and moved a couple of years ago, I had the same =
email address for about 20 years. I was also very active on the =
Internet. So I would get a lot of spam. And spammers would often use my =
email address (but not my account) when sending spam so I would often =
get non-delivery notices as a result. So when other people brought =
similar problems to me under my role as the university email =
administrator, I would tell them to do a google search on their email =
address to show them how spammers can easily find and harvest their =
email addresses. And if you do that, you will see that this mailing list =
has a public exposed archive, available right on the Internet. So it is =
possible that your email address could have come from the autox.team.net =
server. Some spammers will go so far as to subscribe to email lists so =
they can not only send a spam message to all the subscribers but they =
may also have access to a list of all the subscribers, thus having a =
clean email list to spam to. But the easy way is just to use a program =
that runs scans across the web with minimal human intervention needed.

=20

Spam filters may also be an issue. In reality, I believe that currently =
90% of all email is spam but the figure might be a bit out of date. Most =
of this is easily blocked due to blacklists maintained on the Internet =
that track the IP addresses of sites or computers sending out large =
amounts of spam =E2=80=93 you usually will only see spam from sites not =
yet blacklisted or spam that has been crafted to avoid blacklists and/or =
other spam filters. It may be that you need to turn on the spam filters =
as some email providers have this configurable to some extent. I =
currently run my own mail server and am not very active posting on the =
Internet =E2=80=93 and my only filtering right now is using a couple =
email blacklists. Before I configured the filters, I was getting maybe =
10 spams a day, now the spam is fairly rare =E2=80=93 maybe a couple a =
week.
