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.
Everything is good now, no SPAM comming anymore. Thanks Apple!
I forwarded all my SPAM to Apple, and have not seen much lately. I think I've only had one SPAM email in the past month.
how do you do that; to what apple address?
Dude you gotta learn to use google.
My spam has tailed off now. Maybe Apple fixed the issue....😐
The iPhone app "Mail" needs to have exactly the same feature(s) that Mac OS X Mail has
in relation to spam-filtering.
Namely: if the user does not exist in my contacts book, redirect the mail to the Junk folder.
It's as simple as that.
For the app not to have the same feature at this late date is truly remarkable.
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.
Hasn't been fixed for me - so much time wasted in checking what turns out to be SPAM - in my case these glytches started only a few weeks ago, making me wonder if Apple couldn't go back to its previous system (I'm using Lion 10.7.4 & 5, & am increasingly frustrated). C'mon, guys.
Same problem here. A ton of spam completely undetected, and it's getting worse in the past few days. Hope they find way to fix this.
I am seeing an unusual spike of the same kind of email that prompted finding this post. I don't know if it is a iCloud mail issue or if my email was just on a list that just got resold again?
After years of nearly ZERO spams, the floodgates have opened over the last week. Dozens daily!
I'm getting slammed right now. It's horrible. I hate my me.com account for the first time ever. Honestly thinking about switching to GMAIL. And that is just the first step to an entirely different ecosystem.
None all day. Then about 15 minutes ago they came all at once. 23. It's like it saves them up, they turn off the spam protector and BOOM. They hit my inbox. Grrrrrr
Ditto to the above comments from 1/3. Just got about ten spam messages in the last fifteen minutes. What I don't understand is why Apple's filters can't block mail that LOOKS like these junk messages. From this particular spammer, the message format never changes and consists of the same couple images and identical lines of text. Surely their algorithms can figure that out, right?
Same here. Large increase in spam traffic to my iPhone 5 today. Disturbing.
Given Apple's size and growth rate, I'd definitely recommend protecting the
client-base by implementing strong filtering.
I am shocked there is no existing filter mechanism in place that caught these.
But don't switch to others just yet. Give Apple time to fix the error. Code is probably
being written right now to deal with the issue.
Thinking about my earlier proposal in this thread, the filtering is probably done on
the SMTP and IMAP servers in the cloud, rather than at the client (iPhone, iPad, etc.)
And, what I'd suggest, is add a secondary filter mechanism to an rushed-released version of
the iDevice Mail app, with choices similar to what appear on the Mac OS X
Mail app (always from contact book) but also include whitelist/blacklist ideas,
Bayesian distribution spam-filtering, and so forth, or simplify it so it isn't too confusing.
Concentric rings of security are important and spam is a very significant issue generally
which annoys customers and causes market share drop.
The above is how I'd handle it if I was coding it. If I've missed something, please let me know.
SPAM level increased last 2-3 weeks
