ozziegt Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) So I changed hosts to TCH and now I am not getting spam anymore. Is it possible they were somehow spamming the actual servers at my hold host rather than my e-mail address? Or does TCH have some kind of spam filter set up? My spamassassin is off, and I haven't gotten a single spam e-mail in over 48 hours. I'm not complaining, but I AM curious... OK fine I still got 1 or 2 yesterday but compared to the 10-20 I was getting before, that's nothing! Edited September 3, 2006 by ozziegt Quote
stevevan Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Just wait...they'll catch up with you! Seriously tho', I've noticed that this comes and goes in spurts. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 If in your cpanel > mail you set the default address to :fail: and create accounts for the address you use that will cut down most spam addressed to anyname at your site. Quote
Deverill Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 It could be they were targeting accounts on the old host by brute force. aaaaa@oldhost.com aaaab@oldhost.com aaaac@... Or if your email at the old host was made public (for instance on a web page) they'll catch up as Steve said. Quote
