Q: Spam
Anyone getting spam from this address? Is unusual for me to get spam these days. I have gotten two of these recently. It is similar to the Nigerian thing, where millions of dollars are in an account, etc. Does Apple not stop this kind of stuff?

The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Why am I getting junk mail (spam)?
Report junk mail
You can report junk mail to the mail administrators of both iCloud and the Internet domain from which the email was sent. If the administrators can verify that the message is junk mail, they can help make sure that future messages from that sender aren't delivered to your mailbox. Follow the instructions for your email client:
- Open the message and choose “Forward as Attachment” from the Message menu.
- Forward the message to iCloud spam@icloud.com.
- Forward the message again to abuse@domain, replacing domain with the part of the sender's email address after the @ symbol. For example, if the sender's email address is spammer@spammydomain.com, forward the message to abuse@spammydomain.com.
Do that for each spam email you get. If you get more than one at one time you can select them all and then follow the instructions above. I also send it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov
