S=P=A=M ???

The last month or so has been relatively free of SPAM, but this week it all seems to have started up again.

I have several PN / F9 email addresses and all of them seem to be affected.

Anyone else noticed this ?

Was just going to post about this myself, had a couple of hundred emails in my inbox this morning, most being out of the out of office reply and undeliverable types. Seems to have calmed down now, started around 00:40 and ended around 04:40.

Same here. There seems to be a wave of them, all from the same source. I believe it has been proven that 90% of all spam comes from a very small number of sources, so you do get it in huge bursts.

Hi guys,

Have you seen this?

Rgds,

Same here.

I hadnt, BUT what's going on as the same thing happened last night.

From 02:54 to 05:29 I recieved another lump of cheap meat. This has only happened the last 2 days. Anybody done something the last few days at PN because I've not changed anything at this end.

Is this still down to the loss of e-mail addresses by PN, or a new problem with junk mail?

I'd say it was a new problem with junk mail, it's only happened the last 2 days and only in the early hours of the morning. Sounds like a maintenance window or someone tweaking things to me

In total for different things I have 10 e-mail accounts (all hotmail) had them for betweeen 3 & 10 years. I get about 5 junk mails a day (only on one account, and that was the one PN had as an forwarding addy), so I don't see junk mail being a problem.
Hopefully they will get it sorted.

I'm seeing a steady stream of spam during the morning and as I monitor 8 or 9 PN / F9 accounts I get the same email to each.

However, other non PN accounts are not affected, accept for the one I have given PN as an alternate contact address and then I get it there too, so I would say it was related to the previous theft of addresses.
