Too Much Obvious Spam, What Can Be Done?

CBeyer
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 
  • Garage door repair services from Garage Door Fixes 
  • New phone features boost productivity from Telephone Systems 
  • Always-Wanted to Drive a Ferrari? Rent-an-Exotic Car from Exotic Car Rental 
  • Hot Vacation-Specials to Costa Rica from Costa Rica Trips 


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?

    Bob, 

    I get 30 or so of these emails a day... and I never opted into any list. Not only that... but did all 80+ employees opt into the same list? I don't think so. I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than just opting out of a list.

    Thanks,
    Clay
