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)
I'm seeing the same thing -- batches of three, coming from the notmyselftoday.org domain.
Thanks Mike!
I received 7 more from the time when I opened the discussion
I'm consitently getting 10-20 spam emails a day to my icloud account, all Apple keep saying is that i can change my email address which i don't want to do.
I'm not sure why there aren't any bulk junk email filters catching all this as with every other mail application. Certificat Programs, Lawyers, Mortgage alerts, Lower my bills, Loanmanager, Scooter Store, Pimsleur approach, all arrive in big batches so obviously from the same spammer, constantly.
Can anyone help with why?
p.s. it's all from the USA, i'm not even based there.
Actually these appear to be Canadian, if you go by the (possibly spoofed) footer.
The best thing you can do is forward the spam as an attachment (to preserve headers) to spam@me.com for analysis. Marking a message as spam in Webmail or moving it to the Mail junk folder will also report it.
Mike, I mentioned in my first post that I do forward the SPAM as an attachment, and do mark it as Junk, but it does not help to stop getting more and more
I just started getting them as well. You can make a rule in your MacMail program to automatically send them to the trash or junk filter. It won't help with smart devices though.
I use the web version 5-6 hours a day, and rules there have less options than in Mail application.
My point is that Apple should block SPAM like those on there mail servers. Again, it is 100% SPAM based on email subject, standard SPAM format and picts attached - hard do not recognize or slip up.
I agree.
I have spoken to apple support before who said there was no spam filtering on iCloud mail, not really very useful in 2012
no spam filtering all? hard to believe because Gmail filters for me 30-40 a day with account which I actually do not use
I know, gmail is great, but when I spoke to them a couple of months ago the guy said they didn't run it SMS to suggest it. I also find it hard to believe in this day and age. If they are though, it's not working. Another 5 spam mail sun the last hour :-(
.. these spam emails and domain name appear to be from a server in St. Petersburg Russia.
I am from Russia originally, and love St. Petersburg but hate SMAP no matter where it comes from
I've logged a case with apple support, they said they're not aware of an issue but are escalating it to iCloud support and will come back to me in a few days. Might be worth you all doing the same as the more cases they log about it, the more seriously they'll take it.
SPAM level increased last 2-3 weeks
