Re: Has anybody noticed a lot less web Bulk folder spam lately?

i use legacy snet pop and up until the beginning of the year my filters snagged about 65 spams per day. now i don't get any - at all. can't figure it out - not that i'm complaining - but for some reason spam is not getting through to any of my six accounts.

some kind of new alien technology running now in texas. no doubt marfa based.

The gateway (MX) mail servers for the nine legacy SBC domains (run by AT&T Internet Services) apparently have had their filters tweaked to be in line with the filters on the gateway mail servers run by AT&T Worldnet Services (for 'att.net' and 'bellsouth.net' users).

The result, for at&t Yahoo! HSI customers, is less spam being transferred from the 'prodigy.net' mail hosts (receive email for the domains) to the 'yahoo.com' mail hosts (place received email in the Inbox accessed from 'yahoo.com' servers).
