Free MailFoundry Spam Protection on ALL WebHostingBuzz Accounts!

[PsyCHZZZ]

up until early this week i was getting ~20,000 spam messages a day, now i am barely getting any, was Mail Foundry installed on Reseller1? if so, i am not getting the summary report, which i would like to see.
if not, what was done? something defintely happened here.
thanks

You get ~20,000 spam A DAY?

You get ~20,000 spam A DAY?

yeh, about that. that is why Glock SpamCombat is my best friend, although when i have my computer off for 4-5 hours and have 4-6,000 messages waiting for me, it is a while before i am back to normal.
but anyway, whatever WHB did this week is amazing, i went from that to about 20 spam an hour, which is nothing!
but still i would like to see what is being rejected.

Okay I'm slow. The disappearance of the spam is great. However, after not receiving a "recurring bill notification" I belatedly realized that "no spam" comes with a consequence. I received the quarantine lists, or summaries, for about a week but haven't gotten any now for a long long time. Can we have them back please? I'm on Alpha. Do I have to specifically ask for them for our account(s)?

Is MailFoundry running on rs6 now?

Seeing strange "reduction" in spam.

[aztech]

Colin,

I am seeing the same "reduction" on RS10.

I think it is a general reduction of SPAM on the Internet, as I large enterprise I support (in Australia) is seeing a similar effect. SPAM has dropped over the last week to about 10% of the previous volume.

Hopefully the dumbarse spammers are giving up and trying some other way to make fast money for nothing?? ;-)

I wish it were true, but that seems unlikely. Spammers do make money, as a small percentage of recipients do buy their products and fall for their scams. Spamming makes money, which is why it continues.

Either that or them there arrests in recent weeks did a serious crippling number of the availability of spam bot nets to spew the crap.

Hey All,
I received a legitimate email with the subject tagged as spam. How do I submit the domain to be added to the white list? Here is the top of the header:

Hi All,

To update you on MailFoundry... Some of the units are not performing to expectations. Approximately 25% of servers are covered by several MailFoundry units at this time, but a lot of the spam prevention is hit or miss. To this extent, we're working on a custom, in-house solution that will deployed in January. We're going to be comparing the effectiveness of this versus MailFoundry.

The above posted false positives are the only two I have received (that I know of.) I use to get about 600 spams a day, but now I only get a few dozen. While not perfect, the MailFoundry solution is so much better than not having a filter at all. Thank you for this service. It was why I changed who I hosted with to WebHostingBuzz.
