Re: How does this happen? You might not have gotten spam from a charter address which means Charter is good at keeping it from coming out of their network, but they suck at spam filtering coming in, or rampaging around inside their network.
I have one address that I made, that I've never even used, and all it gets is spam, and lots of it. I just keep logging into the webmail client and reporting the entire contents of the inbox as spam, in hopes of ever seeing it diminish.
Charter's spam methods suck compared to the VZ email I had once.

kudos:1 | said by DHRacer:I have one address that I made, that I've never even used, and all it gets is spam, and lots of it. Sounds like you're using an address that someone else once had, who had left their address all over the net. That happens sometimes. I'd just change my address.
I got one piece of spam at my Charter address all of last year, and it said "Hello, I'm using my iPhone to send this." 
The only time I got a flurry of spam was when they were *changing over* their filtering system, a couple of years ago. It only lasted a couple of weeks. I think Charter does a great job now of stopping spam, since I get none. [knock on wood] | |
