I just wanted to report, and apologize about some ticket delays due to getting stuck in the spam filters.
I have to tell you I have spend from 9am this morning until 11:49am today sorting spam that was blocked, and the level of spam is just crazy.
We have some 30 tickets blocked today, some 50% of them are tests from the same people over and over seeing if tickets arrive, the spam filter blocks mails with just “test” in them from what I see here ![]()
Also, the level of spam that has legit looking subjects is getting much higher, and the spam is increasing in its style of and making filtering very hard, so some false positives are to be expected with the spammers changing methods.
I have noticed in my personal gmail account I am getting what I’d cal partial NOVEL spam, its like a book or something, and the word level in it is so huge that the spam filters pass it off as being legit.
Jodohost.com is getting over 5,000 spam a day that are blocked, I still have a few occasionally hit my inbox, but the false positive level is higher than I’d like to see. the reseller desk is a main target of the spam, getting over 1100 spam a day(I think it was 981 when I started sorting this morning, and we are just now at mid-day) out of those 31 were real(17 were “test” tickets, from real users).
there is no real reason for this post, I just wanted to let you know what we are combatting as well. the spam levels are just sky high now, and we block over 600,000 spam a day on all the mail servers together, sure it can be better and we are working very hard to make it better, but 600,000 messages across 4 mail servers is a LOT of real spam blocked.
