Spam emails
In just the last few weeks, I have started receiving HUNDREDS of spam emails every day. Up until that time, I hardly ever received any. It does no good to mark them spam. What is going on with Hughes...
Good morning folks,
Thank you for your continued feedback, I'm sending these up to management who is keeping an eye on all this. They've also issued an official response:
We are aware that some customers are experiencing a significant increase in SPAM messages to their Hughes.net email addresses. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience this influx of unwanted messages has created and encourage you to flag them as SPAM to remove them from your inbox. Marking messages as SPAM also helps improve the filtering algorithms. Simply click the checkbox next to any SPAM messages and then click the shield icon in the upper right corner of the menu bar.Please let us know if you're seeing any improvement now, there have been some changes recently. Looking forward to your feedback.
Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Liz
Liz,
Thanks for the update.
Did find the the block feature on the webmail site - it allows one to select multiple emails and block the the address. Assume that also goes into some type of spam folder for Admin.
Did well over 250 today - hope this helps the cause!
better to mark them as spam rather than block. Block just blocks the sender's address which the spammers change constanly.
that also moves it to the spam folder. you can select multiple and clck circled button below if you haven't seen it. I'm assuming whatever tool us used looks at emails you mark as spam and somehow tries to figure out a way to auto spam them.
just a few I added to the blocked list that keep showing up
- admin@acrey.milastle.com
- admin@milastle.com
- admin@ngeh.haterentes.com
- reply@tearostupp.com
- return@caseri.planetomed.com
- return@cpav.themoduthe.com
- return@jordingliked.com
- x9kdnvwo@ngeh.haterentes.com
BlockRemoveI guess I should be thankful for the hundreds! I don't know what I would do if it were thousands like yours!
Thank you, HughesNet for getting on this! Please hurry!!
