Verizon Spam

I found a few things happening with spam in the last few days. One is that a large amount of it was getting past Spamsieve and the other is that there’s a large amount of it period.

I found that training the offending emails to be Spam resolved that problem, but the actual amount of Spam that is getting past my Verizon spam filter is probably tow or three times it what it used to be. (The Verizon filter isn’t the greatest, but between it and Spamsieve I get almost zero Spam into my In box.

I’ve also made a point of retraining at the Verizon level and it’s already made a difference.

Perhaps the starts were in the right (wrong) alignment for Spammers lately??

I have the same problem in that the Verizon spam filtering is horrible. Of course because my two email accounts are both @verizon.net addresses, I my mail goes to both Apple Mail and Verizon inboxes. Spamsieve is working very well with my Apple Mail but spam keeps accumulating in my Verizon inboxes. I only go to Verizon to clear its inbox or to get mail if I am traveling. Is there any way to use Spamsieve to block this spam so that it won’t accumulate?

Do you mean that you see the spam when you view your Verizon account via Webmail?

Do you have Apple Mail connecting to your Verizon account via POP, IMAP, or Exchange?

Yes I do see spam on mail.verizon.mail/webmail…and lots of it because Verizon’s mail blocking is so bad.

My Verizon accounts are POP.

Unfortunately, if the accounts are POP, Mail and SpamSieve will only be able to filter the messages on the Mac.
