Some people are reporting a very large number of spam emails. They also might not have your know how on filtering spam therefore what I stated was accurate. I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of writing the article to exaggerate the problems or to have a dig at PN. If I wanted to do that there is plenty of ammunition lying around.

Try handling 300+ a day, with 20 - 40 on average being real emails.

Was not my intention to overegg anything on your behalf.. I have only praise for your contributions in this period. (BTW PN should have provided more but kay sirrah..)

So the basic premise is that some users will have been compromised to an extreme state, others will be at varying degrees and other basic users will have an increase in spam that they already receive but other than that no other effect. That is if they have not been trojaned...... ie) Email as a whole, accross the board is not unusable but is for some ie 10-20-30%... I don't know the figures, PN probably dont either GRRRR

Is that a fair understanding?

300+ a day - Just from PlusNet email? that is a major problem....

My domain used to be hosted on PN. The spam on my catch all email address on my domain has jumped about 4 fold since this happened. Gone from about 40 spams to 150 a day.

As it's business email I scan it every morning to spot the 1 in 500 incorrectly addressed emails, now 1 in 2000. I don't have the luxury of just trashing it.

Don't use Plusnet for email or any other service, though some places I goto do have Plusnet connections
