As much as I warn her about it, Mrs M will sign up for free ebook mailings. Guess what?
Yes, she's now getting a mountain of spam originating from one of her 'special offers'
Her address appears to have been passed from mailing list to mailing list, so they are currently multiplying.
These are bypassing the GMail spam filters despite being in a very typical format with predictable wording. GMail has a lot of filtering options, so I've set up multiple filters that seem to be catching most of them - with these, and the 'Report Spam' (
not & unsubscribe) hopefully we'll quell the deluge.
Maybe, just maybe, she's learned her lesson from my grumpy face.
