1332996 2013-03-16 19:28:00 Since yesterday afternoon, lots of spam email is slipping through their filter. It's been stable for quite some time and it's now going through like crazy again.

It's only me or ....?

1333000 2013-03-17 22:29:00 arggh, relying on the xtra/yahoo spam filter. :badpc:

It WILL BE blocking some legit email . That spam filter has been hopeless since day 1
If you choose to use it, login once a week via webmail to check it hasnt put some legit files in there. If so, make them as not spam.
Youre better off to live with a few spams per day rather than loose legit email, so I choose to download all mail incl email in yahoos spam filter, there's a setting via webmail to do this.

1333001 2013-03-17 23:33:00 1101 is correct. I turned off all ISP spam filters for this reason. I let Outlook take care of the spam paulw (1826)
1333002 2013-03-19 07:12:00 Mine isn't letting any more through than usual but I have had a surge in volume after the recent Yahoo! email security fiasco. Agent_24 (57)
