Q: SPAM level increased last 2-3 weeks

Last 2-3 week I started getting too many SPAM e-mails which come throw iCloud SPAM filter to my mailbox. It was never happened before, 15-20 SPAM from the same address: noreply@*.notmyselftoday.org

Looks 100% SMAP, and I am curious why iCloud's internal SPAM filter do not recognize and stop it. Sure I keep forwarding it as attachment to spam@me.com, but also keep getting more everyday.

Appreciate any suggestions!

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Yes, looks like Apple fixed the issue on there servers side. SPAM level looks pretty normal for now, there are no more then 5-10 garbage emails a week.

    I really don't understand how Apple makes blocking spam in icloud.com so time consuming, while other email services are pretty simpler and faster at that. Why not just having a check option as "spam" and voila! blocked. The way I have to do it now, rules and forwarding mails to apple, is making me thinking of seriously returning to gmail.com.

      Apple needs to do whatever gmail does to filter out spam. I have had gmail for ten years and I can't remember getting a single random spam message about mortgage refinance or diet pills or amazing discounts and gift cards that are available to me.

     

      I don't have to set up filters or move spam to the junk folder or take any action at all. The spam just does not get through to my inbox.

     

      Gmail is definitely staying as my primary email address and iCloud as secondary for use when I don't want to give away my "real" email address.

    I am having this spam issue too and very unhappy about it - I NEVER got spam on my me.com account until a month ago and now it is up to 8-10 a day!! I've only used that accont for business and not for anyone that would send me forwarded crap. So where is this spam coming from? Where once I really trusted Apple, I am now getting pretty disgusted.

     

    I've also been going through issues with the Apple TV not loading movies, crashing, etc. I was on the phone with Apple support 3 times in 24 hours and the bottom line was that they are clueless as to why it's happening and can't do anything. Very frustrating.
