Simon B. StøvringI've started getting a lot more junk on my Fastmail email addresses. Some of it is obviously junk, like the emails have no subject and only one or two words in the body. Anyone else using Fastmail seeing the same?
Just learned about Sieve scripting and that Fastmail supports it. With this, I can make a rule in Fastmail to move all emails with no subject to junk. I think this will get rid of 3/4 of the spam I've started receiving.
Mikkel Selsøe Sørensen@simonbs I get junk mail regularly on my Fastmail account. Mostly with content though. I don't blame Fastmail. I think my email is just exposed in so many places, it's inevitable.
Michael Schwinges@simonbs Yes me too I’m afraid – quite a lot in fact.
Mat Gadd@simonbs not yet, just the usual level for me, almost all being caught in the spam filters for me. 🤞🏼
Douglas Hill@simonbs I was seeing a lot of spam a year or so ago (after ten years without any trouble) but it seems resolved now. Most of the spam was catchable with a filter I manually set up, that rule hasn’t caught anything recently.
Russ Shanahan@simonbs yes. It increased noticeably in the last few days or weeks
Keith Thomas@simonbs Same. It’s just a trickle, one or two messages here and there, but it’s all obvious junk that the filter used to catch.
Robert Atkins@simonbs Comes and goes in waves. Young ladies who’d like to make my acquaintance, invoices from “McAfee”. I mark them as spam in the Fastmail interface and it dies down for a while.
