That would have been about the time (my estimate is October, 2019) that the floodgates for this god-awful spam opened up and have yet to close, despite numerous complaints about it (including several by myself). You can’t block the address because they just change the address, plus you only have a limited number of addresses to block. The only relief I have found is using Outlook. After creating a few rules, Outlook does a decent job of weeding out the spam. However, only the Windows based version will do it (the iPhone app is useless), and once in a while, a “bug” gets into the system that requires you to re-enter your username and password for Cox. When that happens, it essentially resets everything as far as filtering, renders existing filters useless, and the program “unlearns” what is spam. So for a few days, the Spam flows through like raw sewage. Does Cox plant these bugs to let this ** through? It can be sooooo frustrating. I’ve just about had it and have a Gmail account set up. Might just be a matter of time (and the effort of notifying people tied to this address) that I’m switching.
