Robin Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I use googlemail hosting for email via their webmail browser. The spam filter doesn't seem to be filtering my spam and I'm getting roughly 1000 spam messages per hour. Anyone know how I could fix this?!?! Thanks in advance!

Judge Mental Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've been using gmail for about 2 years now, for everything, and I don't get spam at all besides what goes in the spam bin. Sounds like something's up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aza Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Report as many as you can as spam - this will add them to your 'unsafe' list and should prevent future spam. A note to Google would be good too, not sure if they will help you though I've read a few articles about the annoyance of this and sadly many cases resulted in getting a new email addy.

Robin Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I ended up calling Google in the end. It seems as if the server they use to host my domain email wasn't filtering spam over the course of a 48-72 hour period and as a result, everything was going into my inbox. All sorted now thankfully. Thanks for the suggestions guys =o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aza Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 How did you contact Google - they don't have phone support? http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.p...8&topic=369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
