This problem started about 3 months ago. I'm inundated with junk, junk, spam, junk! It makes me avoid checking email every day, cuz I spend the majority of my time deleting emails. What is happening? When will I see a solution offered to me?
I must forward AT LEAST 20 emails a day to spamreport@cox.net, and it seems to be more of a placebo than anything, because the incessant spam WILL NOT STOP. Always seems be related to either medical or home warranty/improvement items, but I know it's spam when I see the email address is hlkjadshasfdsljln@klnszljkfjdlklbk.nknek.ee or something to that extent. And oftentimes, I will see my username embedded within the email address, and a couple times lately, it's made to look like I sent it to myself. It's as bad if not worse than the incessant robocalls we get every day. The biggest domain violator seems to be mypentax.com; why can't this domain be blocked at the admin level? It would stop about 40% of the spam. Granted I have found a way to reroute the spam to my junk folder, but I've had to set up so many filters that many legit emails get redirected there. It is not a pleasant user experience and it needs to be fixed years ago.

JP, when Cox first got hit by the Spam Explosion, I got lots of junk from mypentax. lately I haven't received anything from them. all of my recent spams are from dot site or dot website.
