Fellow Hostony Users,
I have 2 emails setup on my domain, and i haven't given out the names to anyone. Yet, I am already getting spam to both accounts?

Is anyone experiencing this problem, and is there any thing I can do about it?


Thanks

You can try to configure mail filters at your control panel.

how do i do that? I am on the win-profi plan, and dont see any available configuration as you mentioned.

I'm sorry but HELM cpanel don't support email filtering.

So,

Any ideas why I would be getting spammed or how I can prevent this from continuing?

Could yo uopen a ticket about this issue?

If you are on Windows, I would bet that most if not all of the spam you receive is connected to www.theplanet.com in some way. ALL of the spam I get (I am on Windows too) suggest that they are hosting the problem.

Since there are no filters available from Hostony, I use Spamcop.net to filter and report. The downside, if it is a downside, is that it is not free. That said, it has worked pretty well for me.
