I’m getting a variety of junk mail slipping through my filter in Apple mail that is my first name @yahoo.com, @gmail and so on. It’s flooding my inbox. Any thoughts on this or similarities out there?

Disable remote image loading, if that’s currently enabled.

De nada.

And if you’re on Mac, SpamSieve. Been using that for some years.

Scammers and phishers are going overtime all over, too.

Keep marking the spam as spam at iCloud.

If you’re on a Mac, adding SpamSieve can help reduce the spam.

I’ve been trying to flag them as well. I don’t know if the AI is picking up on me flagging them and junking them?

Just what the doctor ordered. It’s 100% the remote image loading. I will try out the spam filter to see if it’s necessary or beneficial! Thanks so much for your help!
