This doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. What is a problem, though, is big tech companies spamming us incessantly and doing almost nothing to prevent that.
I get 10-20 spam E-mails a day from AWS, Google and Microsoft. Forwarding spam to their abuse@ contacts doesn't seem to do anything. And I can't block them, like I would a smaller spammer.
- VladVladikoff 2y agoHaha the best part is when the same Gmail or outlook address spams you again two weeks after reporting that very same address to abuse@gmail/outlook.
- n_ary 2y agoOutlook is extra bad. It is apparently possible to put your email(to/recipient) in BCC, so if you have aliases, it is impossible to tell, which one was leaked and being abused, as to is marked as “undisclosed recipients”. There is no mass domain/pattern block rules, so if I block “spammer.1@hotmail.com”, then next day it arrives from “spammer.01@hotmail.com”, then blocking that, next day it arrives from “spammer.001@hotmail.com”. Outlook is actively hostile to blocking spams yet happy to quickly block small self-hosted operators.
- jwr 2y agoWith AWS I reported 3-4 spams from a certain company every day for 3 weeks. Nothing changed. They just ignore the reports.
