Anyone not interested in spam protection delete now. I use Mailwasher pro, and as of yesterday the FirstAlert optional reporting facility. The Statistics facility tells me that over the last month I received 5627 emails of which 3464 were spam filtered and deleted. In other words out of c180 a day then c110 are spam, leaving 70 a day which are legit. I guess around 60% spam is par for the course these days, if you get a lot less then consider yourselves fortunate. But I have this week noticed on 3 separate occasions that legitimate emails I noticed in Mailwasher in the pre-download phase then disappeared, or were deleted. This made me check last month's log to make sure there weren't any others, there were in fact a couple more. All the erroneous deletes appeared to be prompted by reference to the DNS spam check list, particularly Spamcop. The upshot of it all is that I have turned this DNS reference off as being not 100% reliable. Other Mailwasher users might check their own systems for accuracy too.
