Got none in my Spamcop Held Mail folder, which usually
gets around 12-18 items of spam a day. Not even one in
there, only the run of the mill pharma, stock spams, etc.
Now my mom's Yahoo email is a different story. She got
inundated by them, though not one got to the inbox.

I received one for "Free Ringtones" that made me suspicious - it was hosted by a company in Switzerland. The direct IP address was not responding, but the sub-domain associated with it was responding. |

I get these darned things all the time. Happy to say, I didn't notice if I got anything like this one specifically as all my Spam, other than one or 2 a month, merely land in my ISP's filter. I can then look at the sender and title and know if it's something I've been waiting for or that is legit. If so, the address is put in my white list. Otherwise, each and everyone of them is put in deleted without opening. Speakeasy's filter really works well, I am pleased to say. I also am pleased to say that I learned long ago, be careful what I open. Most of the Spam I get should be under a heading of Joke A Day...some of the sender's names are hysterical. However, I don't take any of this c**p as a joke. I wish people would learn not to open and click on everything they get.

In the last 24 hours I've gotten a couple dozen of these and some of them are quite persistent. My Bayesian filtering plug-in seems to be trapping most of them now, but a few still manage to make it through.
One reason I'm getting so many is that one of my mail addresses has to be publicly visible on my commercial web site, and it's long since been added to the spammers' lists. I also got some 50 bounce messages Sunday morning, making it plain that someone has spoofed my address as the origin for some attack. While I have SPF in place on that domain, it doesn't seem to make much difference to most mail servers that send bounce messages...

Got four of these today, all to my DSLR mail account. Cat lovers, dog lovers, and a couple of others. MailWasher is now deleting them by filter. |

I've been getting more of these again lately too, but as I don't actually download any emails from my server, I don't much care.
Use a real server, use non-html, non-JS, non-inline-image email with AV.
Problem solved.
