I know I am a tiny speck, but as just another data point, I'm looking at a folder full of spam with 731 messages in it, received here since May 15, 367 (almost exactly 50%) of which originated at GMail, 45 via outlook.com, 25 via salesforce.com and 16 via sendgrid.net. Of those 367 sent via GMail, 57 are bogus billing notices for "Windows Defender", which I've since had to write custom sendmail filtering rules to block. They were coming in at a rate that made it such that I could test the rules in the half an hour I spent writing them because, lo, there's another one. Most of the rest are either blindingly obvious 419 scams or offers to help us estimate our construction projects, give us a better web site or improve our SEO. The latter I can deal with, they're just cold call campaigns, and hey, everybody has to eat, but the Defender phishes are just stupid and someone should have stopped them months ago. How hard is it to flag a campaign whose sender is "Windows Defender Order" and Subject is "Order Confirmation" or "Billing Team" without variation? Aside from a few whitelisted addresses, we quarantine everything sent via GMail here, to save our users the hassle of having to forward them to me and file them away for reference in posts like this. -- hesketh.com/inc. v: +1(919)834-2552 f: +1(919)834-2553 w: http://hesketh.com/ Internet security and antispam hostname intelligence: http://enemieslist.com/ _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
