Email TO me FROM me???
This morning I received a spam email purporting to be FROM my own iCloud email address (which I do not use). Message header included the following:
Received-Spf: none (nk11p00mm-smtpin003.mac.com: ****@icloud.com does not designate permitted sender hosts) receiver=nk11p00mm-smtpin004.mac.com; client-ip=212.129.34.4; helo=scoopbay.net; envelope-from=****@icloud.com;
Received: from nk11p00mm-smtpin003.mac.com ([17.158.164.132]) by ms01513.mac.com (Oracle Communications Messaging Server 7u4-27.08(7.0.4.27.7) 64bit (built Aug 22 2013)) with ESMTP id <0NMY000HBKKFA550@ms01513.mac.com>
Can anyone explain how this happens and, more importantly, how to put a stop to it? Up until recent months, I thoroughly enjoyed using my me.com and (old) mac.com email because it never let spam through. This has changed, and I spend hours every week setting up rules to block BS senders and deleting spam from those who do it with legitimate-appearing email accounts. Email is becoming more of a chore than a convenience these days!
And BTW, if there's an address to report spam to Apple, it is well hidden in their website! 😟
