Who sets the Cox email spam settings? What the HECK?!?!?
Before this glorious upgrade the email servers went offline regularly, resulting in mail arriving an hour or two late, up to DAYS later. With this "glorious upgrade" I am now finding -all- my email being classified as spam. I dutifully read the FAQ and used their "not spam" setting. That didn't work. I have forwarded the senders to "Thisisnotspam@cox.net". That doesn't work. I don't want to check email via webmail everyday. That is a tedious PITA exercise. How can I just get my freaking mail?1.8KViews0likes1Comment
Spam
Someone is using my credentials to send spam and I cannot block this person since the e-mail shown on the header is my own. I am getting at least 5 of those per day and I wonder if other people are getting them too and thinking they are coming from me. How can I get rid of this, is there a way to set up a filter using the actual sender and/or report this person as a spammer? Below if the latest one I received.

My wife uses her me.com domain for her email and has been for some time. As of the week of 5/4/2015 my wife's me.com domain is now being blocked. I had to change my spam blocking to get her email to show up. Is there a way to get this fixed?? I shouldn't have to see all junk email, just to see emails from the me.com domain which is a valid email domain.2.7KViews0likes5Comments
Simple-minded email question.
Hi. Being somewhat simple-minded, I find the situation I encountered this morning very confusing. First, I need to say that when I receive an email message purporting to be from Chase, AMEX, Bank of America etc, etc but which is clearly intended to phish for account credentials, I forward it on to the abuse team at the apparent source, so they can take steps to stop this activity, such as getting the IP addresses used by the actual senders disabled so potential victims can be protected from their actions. I view this in the same was as picking up litter on the sidewalk, just being a good citizen. I hope other people are doing similar things that might protect me from potential attacks that I might not recognize in time. Today, I got a real beauty of a phish, purporting to be from AIG. I first attempted to forward it to them. This failed with a message from Cox, the nice folks who delivered it to my email inbox in the first place, that I was attempting to send spam and this action could not be permitted. Then, I turned the message into a text file, and attempted to send that to the abuse team at AIG as an attachment. Again, my attempt to deliver potential spam was denied by Cox. Finally, I zipped the text file, and sent that as an attachment, along with an apology. It really is important to give the abuse team a sample that is as close as possible to the original content. Here's my simple-minded question: If this message is unwelcome and potentially dangerous, why was it delivered to me (and no doubt thousands of other Cox email users) in the first place? First, I refuse to believe that every email addressed to my inbox is delivered - the last statistic I saw about the volume of spam email on the internet placed it above 90%, and I expect that Cox is filtering out a lot of absolute ** prior to delivery. Second, does this mean that Cox places a higher level of scrutiny on outgoing mail that incomming mail? If the filters were symmetric, I should have been able to forward or attach the original message. I really would like to understand this, and from where I sit it just does not make sense.2.1KViews0likes1Comment
Spam Blocker
At the suggestion of Cox support I turned my e-mail Spam Blocker on. I don't use the online Cox e-mail program, I use a program in my computer. The Cox spam blocker tags e-mails every day as being spam, when it is in fact not spam. I have sent many e-mails to thisisnotspam@cox.net. Doing so seems to have made little difference. The Cox spam blocker is creating problems for the e-mail program I use on my computer. On my account setting there are three choices for turning the spam blocker on, but there is no choice allowing it to be turned "OFF". How is the spam blocker turned "OFF".4.2KViews0likes2Comments
Spam on new UNUSED Cox email account
A while back I was fed up with the amount of spam I was getting so I got a site to host my email with my own domain. That way I could control my email account directly and could get my ISP connection from anyone and not have to move all my online stuff to a new email account. I WAS getting HUNDREDS of spams a day. After the switch it immediately cut out ALL the spam and it has stayed good for months and months now. So a few weeks ago I dropped ATT DSL and went to Cox for my internet connection. Part of it was a new Cox email address which I went ahead and set up and never used for anything but send a test message to my main non Cox account with it. I NEVER gave it out online although it IS used by this forum. So my question is this. Why am I now receiving SPAM on this new Cox email account? How is this email address being disseminated if it's no my me? Is Cox selling the email lists or "sharing" it with other organizations? While It's nowhere as bad as it was with ATT DSL it is starting to pop up almost daily. Is there an OPT OUT somewhere that I can join?1.9KViews0likes1Commentemail I'm sending is legitimate, but cox tells me it's spam and refuses to send it
OK, I give -- repeated attempts to send a legitimate email to a few friends this morning, and each time the Cox email server refuses to send it. What does Cox need, my first born child? Please advise.2.1KViews0likes1Comment
