HEY GUYS,

JUST REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH THE AMOUNT OF SPAM EMAILS IN THE EMAIL ACCOUNTS HELD HERE AT WA ATTACHED TO OUR WEBSITES.

I HAVE HAD OVER 650 EMAILS IN MY IN BOXES AND ALL OF THEM ARE SHITE AND IN MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS. I HAVE CONTACTED SUPPORT AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF I HAD IT ACCROSS MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS AND I SAID YES......

I THEN ASKED IF THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO STOP THIS OR IF THEY COULD FIX IT ....

THAT WAS 2 DAYS AGO.....3 DAYS AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND THEY HAVE NOT COME BACK TO ME......SENT YET ANOTHER EMAIL TO SUPPORT ON THIS MATTER JUST NOW

ANYWAY, SHALL I PUT A SEPARATE SPAM FILTER ON MY WEBSITE? IF SO, WHICH ONE?

AND BEFORE YOU ALL SAY "WE DONT NEED ONE", I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SPAM FILTERS SUPPLIED BY WA....BUT...................I NEED ONE ...WA ONE OBVIOUSLY IS NOT WORKING.....

HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO :-)

XOXOXO TANIA

My WA email account is forwarded to my private Gmail account.
I don't get any but my website is only 8 months old.

That sounds aweful, l hope you can take care of it.
Let me know if you find a solution thanks.

CHEERS PAUL XOXOX

You can hook up your email address to Thunderbird (free) and teach Thunderbird what you consider spam and it will help take care of it for you.

Cool. I'll have to check this out.

THATS GREAT, THANKS MARION. CAN WE LOG INTO OUR ATMAIL EMAIL ACCOUNTS VIA ATMAIL ITSELF OR DO WE HAVE TO LOG IN VIA WA? DO YOU KNOW ? XOXOX LOVE TO ALL

As far as I know you can only login to your email account via WA or a third party solution such as Thunderbird or Outlook.

HI MARION, THIS WAS THE REPLY I GOT FROM SUPPORT.....

Tania,

Please note that We do not have yet installed any spam Filter on the server and there is no such option available using which you can configure it at your end.

MAYBE WE SHOULD LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THUNDERBIRD, WHAT DO YOU THINK ? XOXOX

XOXO TO YOU AND YOURS AND THANKS AGAIN XOXO

THATS GREAT, THANKS AGAIN MARION XOXO

The spam filters supplied by WA pertain to our website comments, not email. Unfortunately I get over 100 per day and all I do is just delete them all.

CHEERS ROB, WISH SUPPORT HAD REITERATED THAT TO ME...HUMMMMMM.....LOL...

SO IS THERE A PLUG-IN OR ANYTHING I CAN DO / GET TO STOP IT......AND DO ALL YOUR GO INTO YOUR INBOX OR ANOTHER FOLDER? PLEASE XOXOOXXO

HOPE YOU ARE WELL, MISSED YA HUN XOXO

Why do you delete them before filtering them out?
I only get like 20-30 at a time. But if you are getting thousands, then I can understand.
Sorry, Boomer.
Can't really help here.

Best always,
Paul.

I do filter them out and 98 percent of them are spam.

1

Never had a single spam mail on any of my sites hosted at WA.

HEY PEDRO, THANKS FOR READING IT XOXOX YOU ARE VERY LUCKY THEN :-)) KEEP FINGERS CROSSED IT STAYS THAT WAY XOXO

1

Just be careful where you use your emails.
I use WA emails restrictly to business & email marketing

Whenever I want to try new services or trials I use a dummy gmail account

Hope you sort it out.

Cheers
