Hello,


I have noticed an increase of spam to my bluebottle.com account recently
when i had

previous had none.


The G-group list has come up in google and my email address comes up
as

": Martin N <marti...@bluebottle.com>.
"


Have spammers got better at understanding how to work around the obvious
to

us humans obscuring of email addresses.


Is there more that can be done by the moderators/owners to obscure email
addresses?


thanks for your time


Martin N

No they've gotten better at harvesting them from various places.

This is something to bring up with your ISP, because if you had been getting no spam, they've had a very good spam filtering system in place. On our domain we're currently sending anywhere from 80% (on good days) to 98% (on the very worst days) of email delivered directly to the bit bucket via our spam handling mechanisms, with no human intervention.
