    Good morning nitaclay,

     

    Thank you for your patience while our e-mail folks looked into your concern. They have located and blocked the offending IPs from sending again and the issue should slacken now if not completely stop.  Please continue marking any suspicious e-mail as spam to help strengthen our spam controls.

     

    If you have any other concerns, please feel free to reach out again.

     

      Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Liz

It's not you, Nita, it's the spammers figuring out ways to spam you. Your email may have been compromised somewhere, at some point, and now you're on a list, and yes, it's ridiculously frustrating.  You may want to think about getting another email address, at Gmail, for example.

    I can totally understand your frustration. Changing everything to a new email account, giving people the new address, etc.,  is a lot of work and very time consuming.
