Too Much Obvious Spam, What Can Be Done?

Just a sample of the messages (subjects) I received today:

  • LAST-DAY: You currently-have $155 in Walmart-Reward Points: Redeem-Today from Walmart Points Center <WalmartPointsCenter@shoppingcardonlinerewards.com >
  • Garage door repair services from Garage Door Fixes <Drake@janascircle.com>
  • New phone features boost productivity from Telephone Systems <Ellis@shhanchang.com>
  • Always-Wanted to Drive a Ferrari? Rent-an-Exotic Car from Exotic Car Rental <ExoticCarRental@uniquecarrentalshop.com>
  • Hot Vacation-Specials to Costa Rica from Costa Rica Trips <CostaRicaTrips@foremosttravelplans.com>

This comes in every few minutes, not only to me, but the exact messages to everyone in the office (some 80+ employees).

We currently run PureMessage 3.1.3 for Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2. This wasn't an issue a few months back, just recently. How do such obvious spam messages get through? Is there any way to combat it? We're talking 30 - 40 messages a day multiplied by 80+ users... Sorry, but that should invalidate your product as a Spam Filter...

Any thoughts, any avenues I can turn to get a resolution to this?

  • Bump. We have the same problems on PureMessage 4.0.1 on WinSrv 2008R2 w/Exchange 2013. Messages are scanned but spam score is to low to trigger, but content is obvious spam. Our I.T. Director is not happy. Apparently this forum is not the right place to get answers.
