    Hi nitaclay,

     

    Thank you for your patience, I just got off the phone with our e-mail admins, got a top guy looking into your account and seeing what we can do for now.  In the long term, our e-mail admins have already been testing out a different spam control which has been looking a lot more promising than the current one. We will likely see this new one implemented soon, so I hope to see a significant difference by then.

    Good morning nitaclay,

     

    Thank you for your patience, I've just gotten word that the switch has been made. We should expect better spam filtering now moving forward.

      Oh, Liz! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I went from 79 spam emails on the 26th, 107 on 3/27, 82 on 3/28 to 12 today, and that was earlier this morning. I have received 0 this afternoon! I am beyond thrilled! Hope the spammers are blocked for good!

        Thank you for the update! Glad to hear it. While the new filter has shown significant improvement over the previous filter, it won't block 100% of spam, as spammers will always find ways to get around them. So it can still help to mark the few that happen to get through.
