On my emails I get hardly any spam. (I don't have any filters set up for myself.) My wife gets lots. We have a web site and I use the email set up on there (IMAP). Recently I have persuaded the wife to move across to using emails on our web site to try to avoid her getting so much rubbish.
Why did you think the method of collecting emails would affect spam, which is to do with delivery?
Presumably something else changed?
Don't ask me why, but she has started getting rubbish emails already. I have set up some filters, which are already having to block over forty addresses!
I don't understand, you block individual sender addresses? Why not just use Thunderbird's built in Junk filtering tool?
Can anyone suggest some way to control this please? I can't just go on adding more and more filter addresses for her surely.
I've talked about spam filtering techniques used on the email servers we use at work to DCGLUG before, but the "easier" way is to outsource spam filtering by using a mail provider who just does it.
Either way without providing any technical details of how email is configured we can't provide any technical answers.
